Why Trump wasn’t awarded Nobel Peace Prize for Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal

But it wasn’t a snub, more just a case of bad timing — the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee made its decision on Monday, two days before the peace deal was struck, to bestow the award to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.
“We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what — for them — leads to peace,” Nobel Peace Prize Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes said Friday.
“This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates. That room is filled with both courage and integrity. We base only our decision on the work and will of Alfred Nobel.”
