Paolo Grimoldi of the right-wing Northern League party tweeted Wednesday that he had nominated Netanyahu because he signed peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as well as the dialogue with Saudi Arabian officials that led to the opening of its airspace to all airplanes, including those coming from Israel.
Netanyahu joined President Donald Trump and the foreign ministers of the UAE and Bahrain to sign the agreements in a ceremony Tuesday at the White House.
Trump, whose administration brokered the deals, was nominated for the prize earlier this week by a right-wing Norwegian lawmaker, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who heads his country’s delegation to NATO.

I presented the candidacy of @netanyahu for the #NobelPeacePrize. Why?
1) Pacification with UAE
2) Pacification with Bahrain
3) Dialogue with KSA & opening of Saudi airspace to Israeli aircraft producing debates on mutual recognition.Historic! Thanks to Trump as well! @Israel
if he wins (hypothetically) and accepts it, he would not be in a good company. only Moshiach can bring true peace. this is just a friendship bought with lot of money.
wow!
Trump and Netanyahu both nominated for the Nobel peace prize. It’ll be great entertainment watching the left, and the media meltdown over this!
