How President Trump’s renewed diplomacy reshaped the Middle East and redefined peace for a new era.

For the first time in generations, the Middle East stands closer to lasting peace than at any point in modern history. President Donald J. Trump’s bold diplomacy- rooted in strength, clarity, and an unshakable belief that peace through strength is possible – has reshaped the region and made the world safer. From Jerusalem to Jeddah, from Gaza to Abu Dhabi, his leadership has turned long-frozen conflicts into a series of unprecedented agreements that have brought stability and hope to millions. Making the Middle East safer makes America safer.

Today, leaders from Asia and the Middle East joined in recognizing what history already knows: President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Their calls reflect the reality that his vision has done more than end wars- it has redefined what peace looks like in our time.

Since returning to office in January 2025, President Trump has built upon his first-term foundation of peace, expanding the groundbreaking Abraham Accords, ending the Gaza war, and forging new partnerships that promote stability across continents. What once seemed impossible freeing the remaining hostages, eliminating Hamas’s stranglehold, and securing a peaceful path forward for Israel and Gaza has now been achieved through vision, leverage, and tireless diplomacy.

Only President Trump could have pulled this off.

In 2018, Trump made history by relocating the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem fulfilling a bipartisan promise every president for four decades had postponed. As a military officer, I know this was not merely symbolic. It was a strategic declaration of America’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s sovereignty. Critics predicted chaos; instead, it ushered in clarity and confidence, laying the groundwork for Arab nations to engage Israel openly and constructively.

That act of moral courage led directly to the Abraham Accords, the diplomatic crown jewel of Trump’s first term. By normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, the accords created new economic, technological, and cultural partnerships that have transformed the region. More importantly, they created a new model for peace one that bypassed entrenched bureaucracy and empowered nations to build a shared future.

Trump’s second term has extended that success. Saudi Arabia now stands on the threshold of normalization with Israel, and even Iran has entered preliminary talks through regional intermediaries. The world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia, is reportedly considering joining the Abraham Accords a development that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Each new partnership underscores the same truth: peace is built by strength, not hesitation.

The appointment of Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Israel in 2025 was another inspired decision. Huckabee’s steadfast moral clarity and advocacy have reinforced Israel’s trust in U.S.-led peace efforts, helping sustain the delicate balance of deterrence and dialogue essential to regional stability.

The 2025 Israel-Gaza Peace Agreement stands as Trump’s most remarkable achievement a feat no world leader before him could claim. After the horrific Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, the world feared an endless war. But Trump’s 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan, brokered in Cairo, compelled Hamas to disarm and release all hostages under international supervision, while enabling Israel to secure its borders and begin Gaza’s reconstruction. For Israelis and Palestinians alike, this agreement has turned mourning into rebuilding, and despair into cautious hope.

Beyond the Middle East, Trump’s diplomacy has rippled across the globe. He helped end long-running conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, reduced tensions between India and Pakistan, and negotiated ceasefires in parts of Africa and Asia from Sudan to the South China Sea. His efforts have stabilized economies, curtailed proxy wars, and advanced global security.

History’s judgment is clear: President Trump has done more to bring peace to the world than any American leader in modern memory. Whether or not the Nobel Committee yet recognizes it, his achievements already surpass the prize itself. Awards are temporary; legacies endure.

President Trump’s vision anchored in principle, backed by resolve, and guided by faith has made the world more peaceful. The Nobel Committee may one day honor him, but the world already has. His name will stand among history’s true peacemakers, and the Middle East will forever bear the imprint of his courage and leadership.
