Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former president Donald Trump, and Kushner’s deputy, Avi Berkowitz, have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their roles in negotiating four normalization deals between Israel and Arab nations, known as the “Abraham Accords.”

Kushner and Berkowitz hammered out the details between Israel and the United Emirates and Bahrain, and later negotiated the deals with Sudan and Morocco. Kushner also laid the foundations for future agreements with other Arab countries.

The two were nominated by American attorney Alan Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. Dershowitz defended former president Trump during his first impeachment trial.

The nomination does not imply an endorsement by the Nobel committee, which has received numerous other nominations for the prize, including Russian opposition leader Alexei Nevelny and climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
