Maria Corina Machado Immediately Dedicates Her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump
• Gateway PunditThe Nobel Committee passed over President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday despite brokering eight different peace treaties his first year back in office, and it's only October.
President Trump has brokered eight different peace treaties in 2025.
He is even credited with the peace agreement between Israel and Hamas that will go into effect this weekend.
Key Peace Deals and Frameworks:

Includes the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), granting U.S. exclusive development rights to an Armenian transit corridor. Aims to end border closures and boost economic ties in the South Caucasus. EU officials praised it as a "significant breakthrough" but noted implementation challenges. |

July 2025 (exact date ~July 26-28) |
U.S.-brokered ceasefire leveraging trade ties after border clashes. |

Economic normalization pact with security addendums. |
Expanded agreement signed. |
Extends first-term deal with new border and trade provisions. |
Israel-Iran |
Spring 2025 (exact date not specified) |
Shadow deal reducing proxy attacks; not a formal treaty. |
Informal understanding; tensions reduced but fragile. |
Involves limits on Iranian support for Hezbollah/Houthis in exchange for sanctions relief. |
Israel-Hamas (Gaza) |
September-October 2025 |
20-point Gaza Peace Plan; first phase signed October 8, 2025. Ceasefire effective October 10, 2025. |
First phase implemented (hostage release, partial Israeli withdrawal); full plan pending. |
Includes: Release of all ~20 living Israeli hostages; Israeli troop pullback from Gaza City; full humanitarian aid influx; temporary technocratic governance by a Palestinian committee under a U.S.-chaired "Board of Peace"; Hamas disarmament amnesty for compliant members; Rafah crossing reopening. Negotiated in Egypt with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey as mediators. Trump announced via Truth Social, planning a Middle East trip. Celebrations in Gaza, Tel Aviv, and Ramallah; global praise from Arab states, but Israeli hardliners threaten coalition revolt. Over 60,000 Palestinian and 1,200 Israeli deaths in prior two years. |
This is a slap in the face to President Trump, the global community, and the millions of people saved by President Trump and his selfless efforts for peace this year.
Even Vladimir Putin was stunned with the Nobel Committee's decision.
