Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel will award its highest honor, the Israel Prize for Peace, to U.S. President Donald Trump in 2026. This marks the first time a non-Israeli will receive the award in its 80-year history, with a new peace category created specifically for Trump. Netanyahu cited Trump's contributions to Israel and the Jewish people, stating the decision reflects widespread Israeli appreciation and a deliberate departure from tradition to honor the U.S. President.
