Donald Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize has been criticized for being a tool for the wealthy to whitewash their involvement in violence.
US President Donald Trump announced a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, which could potentially earn him a Nobel Peace Prize, an award he openly covets.
Trump has declared that he "deserves the prize", claiming he has "ended seven wars" since taking office in 2017.
He stated at the UN General Assembly, "Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements."
