Trump’s Two-State Plan; Peace, Justice, and the Nobel Prize Within Reach

A Historic Opportunity for a Lasting Solution

For decades, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has been one of the world’s most painful disputes. Generations have grown up amidst displacement, insecurity and bloodshed. Every initiative — from Oslo to Camp David — has promised hope but fallen short of a durable solution. Today, former President Donald J. Trump has once again put forward a two-state plan. If implemented sincerely and effectively, it could transform history — and place Trump on the path to the world’s highest recognition for peace: the Nobel Peace Prize, which he has openly expressed a desire to win.

Seeing the Conflict from Three Perspectives

• As a Muslim: the suffering of Palestinians is personal and immediate; the quest for justice and statehood is a moral imperative.

• As a Human Being: the universal value of life and dignity demands that violence end and coexistence begin.

• As an American: U.S. leaders — regardless of party — have an obligation to protect national interests, secure allies and uphold America’s role as a global power.

This prism shows why Trump’s two-state initiative, if realised, represents not only a humanitarian breakthrough but also a strategic success for the United States.

History Rewards Courageous Peace-Making

Major peace efforts — however controversial their architects — have been recognised and rewarded:

• Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin received the Nobel Peace Prize for the Camp David Accords.

• Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres were honoured for the Oslo process.

• Theodore Roosevelt, despite heavy criticism of his domestic policies, won the Nobel for mediating between Russia and Japan.

The common thread is not perfection, but courage: the courage to take a first step towards ending entrenched conflict.

Trump’s Ambition and the Nobel Prize

Trump has publicly voiced his belief that his foreign policy accomplishments already deserved the Nobel Prize. Yet even his critics agree that a genuine, lasting two-state solution would be an achievement on a different scale — one that could rightfully earn him the award. More importantly, it would send a powerful message to leaders worldwide: that even the most polarising figures can choose peace, and that national interest and human compassion need not be mutually exclusive.

Urgency and Implementation Matter

For this vision to materialise, the U.S. administration must move swiftly and decisively. Announcements and blueprints are only as meaningful as their implementation.

• Palestinians need to see credible steps towards sovereignty and dignity.

• Israelis need to see genuine guarantees of security.

Without urgency and trust-building, hope can evaporate and cynicism will return.

A Call to American Decision-Makers

We therefore call upon American decision-makers to seize this historic opportunity. Act now to turn a plan on paper into reality on the ground. Demonstrate to the world that America’s greatness lies not only in its power but also in its ability to heal long-running wounds. Such a legacy would outlive any presidency and inspire future generations.

Conclusion: Peace, Justice and American Leadership

Viewing this issue from all three perspectives — Muslim, human and American — leads to the same conclusion: real peace between Israel and Palestine would be a victory for justice, a triumph for humanity and a crowning achievement for U.S. diplomacy.

If Donald Trump and the American administration can deliver on this promise, they will not just make history — they will make peace, and Trump will stand as a worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize he so clearly desires.
