Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, were nominated by a friendly attorney for the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in negotiating four normalisation deals between Israel and Arab nations known as the “Abraham Accords”.
The deals were the most significant diplomatic breakthroughs in the Middle East in 25 years. Nominating the pair of former deputies to then-President Donald Trump was American attorney Alan Dershowitz, who was eligible to do so in his capacity as a professor emeritus of Harvard Law School.
