Trump caught on hot mic lamenting Nobel Peace Prize snub - 'Do I get credit?'

President Donald Trump was caught in a hot mic moment that revealed his frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. The incident occurred during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, where the leaders discussed the ceasefire plan for Gaza.

A video clip from the meeting captured Trump saying: “35 years of fighting and they stopped. Do I get credit for it? No.” He then began to mention the Nobel Prize before being cut off, hinting at his disappointment for not receiving the prestigious award. He continued, referencing other international efforts: “How about India and Pakistan? So I did 8 of them. And then I'll tell you the rest of it.”

Netanyahu later praised the meeting, describing it as “very, very productive” and highlighting their “extraordinary friendship.” He emphasized the collaborative efforts in the Middle East, saying: “He's achieved remarkable things in the Middle East because we worked together. Sometimes we have different ideas, but we work it out, and most of the time we see eye to eye. It’s been a remarkable experience.”

In addition, Netanyahu announced that Trump would be awarded the Israeli Peace Prize, the nation’s highest civilian honor. This marks the first time in almost 80 years that the award has been granted to a non-Israeli. Netanyahu praised Trump for his “tremendous contributions to Israel and the Jewish people.”

During the discussion, the leaders also addressed the disarmament of Hamas. Trump warned of serious consequences if Hamas fails to comply, stating that the U.S. is actively working to ensure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

Trump also commented on Iran’s military activities, expressing concern about the country’s potential missile program. He emphasized that the U.S. would act decisively if Iran continued its weapons development, while hoping that further military escalation could be avoided.

This meeting underscores Trump’s ongoing engagement in Middle East diplomacy and highlights his continued efforts to shape U.S.-Israel relations post-presidency.
