Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu takes to his official English-language X account to criticize the Nobel Committee for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to someone other than US President Donald Trump.
“The Nobel Committee talks about peace,” he writes. “President @realDonaldTrump makes it happen.”
“The facts speak for themselves,” he asserts. “President #Trump deserves it.”
Yesterday, days after the Nobel Committee decided on the winner of the peace prize, Netanyahu shared an AI-generated image of Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
“Give [Donald Trump] the Nobel Peace Prize — he deserves it,” read the caption.
The prize was awarded earlier today to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for her “tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
