Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in a solemn voice as he lauded the efforts of the peacemaker who sat before him.
“He's forging peace, as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other,” Netanyahu said. “So I want to present to you, Mr President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it,” he added, rising to hand him said letter.
