Former US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner, Trump's special representative for international negotiations Avi Berkowitz, former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and former Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer have all been named candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize for their work on the historic Abraham Accords to normalize ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

The quartet were put forward for the prize by none other than acclaimed lawyer Professor Allan Dershowitz. Dershowitz is known to have good ties with Trump and represented him in his first impeachment trial.

In his letter to the Nobel committee, Dershowitz wrote, "The Nobel Peace Prize is not for popularity. Nor is an assessment of what the international community may think of those who helped bring about peace. It is an award for fulfilling the daunting criteria set out by Alfred Nobel in his will."

Kushner said in response to his nominated that he was greatly honored.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2021 will be awarded in October.
