Will Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize?

The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday. US President Donald Trump hopes to win the prize for his efforts to end the war in Gaza and reach an agreement to release hostages.

During the hostage release negotiations, Israeli families petitioned the Nobel Committee to award Trump the Peace Prize.

"We write to you as families going through unspeakable dark times in our lives - our hearts ache every day at the sight of an empty chair at the dinner table. We eagerly await their return home with a last glimmer of hope. Today we ask you to award the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump," the letter reads.

For your information, the winner of this prize will be announced on Friday at the Nobel Institute in Oslo. The award ceremony will take place on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death, at Oslo City Hall.
