Trump wants corruption charges to be dropped for Netanyahu saying it is a witch hunt.
Trump has used witch hunt to deny his own alleged charges.
Opposition in Israel think this may be a strategy by Trump to force Netanyahu to do a deal to get the hostages back and end hostilities in Gaza.
It feels wrong that Netanyahu gets away with corruption but does the end justify the means?

The Britons, also known as Celtic Britons or Ancient Britons, were the Celtic people who inhabited Great Britain from at least the British Iron Age until the High Middle Ages, at which point they diverged into the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons. They spoke Common Brittonic, the ancestor of the modern Brittonic languages.

Our choirs are better as well.

The natives of Wales are descended from the Ancient Britons, and so, are one of the earliest 'populations' on our shores.

Actually it’s the Cornish😊😊

Yes AnnieB, Wales is one of the Four Nations in the United Kingdom.

I live in Wales and I think of it as a nation. National identity. The Palestinians have that too.

Anniebach Tue 08-Jul-25 15:17:08

Rather like Wales ? No

A nation is a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture or language inhabiting a particular country or territory so yes, Gaza is a nation.

Gaza is a nation ?

Fighting terrorists is one thing. Trying to annihilate a whole nation is another Anniebach

Trump's attempts to get peace in Ukraine didn't go well. He made things worse.

It's appalling that Trump has been nominated. Netanyahu is such a peace lover himself firmly in the middle of conflict.

That is uncalled for , as PM of a country and people which has suffered so much violence, hatred, judgement how can he be anything other than what he is , seems fighting terrorists is of no concern to the majority .

Trump doesn't mind wars and conflicts if he believes there's something in it for him for the USA.

Let us fervently hope that the Norwegians are receiving nominations from countries etc of genuine peace makers.

I assume that they can decide on someone who we haven’t even thought of?

It they do choose Trump, I think that their integrity would take a severe hammering.

They’ve chosen bizarrely before so who knows.
If he can achieve peace between Israel and Gaza that would be worthy of a prize.India and Pakistan seem to want to nominate him as well.
Trump doesn’t like wars and conflicts, it interferes with business deals.

Smileless2012 Tue 08-Jul-25 12:02:33

Not the first, but the worse.

Anniebach Tue 08-Jul-25 11:20:32

He certainly will not be the first USA president

Smileless2012 Tue 08-Jul-25 11:17:27

If they choose Trump WWM it will make a mockery of those already given and those that will be given in the future.

True

You couldn't make it up could you AGAA4.

Well if Trump can be nominated Annie I suppose anyone could be hmm.

Anniebach Tue 08-Jul-25 09:28:34

There must be many who so want Hamas to be honoured

So selling arms to other countries, bombing Iran and doing nothing to help Gaza qualifies Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize?

eazybee Tue 08-Jul-25 08:46:12

Sad to say, I think Trump is doing this so he will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I believe Netanyahu has nominated him.

Maremia Tue 08-Jul-25 08:05:47

Netanyahu has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
