Jared Kushner, a former White House adviser under his father-in-law, ex-President Donald Trump, was nominated Sunday for the Nobel Peace Prize by former Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, got the nod for negotiating pacts between Israel and the Arab nations of United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, Reuters reported. The normalisation agreements, reached in the second half of 2020, have been dubbed the “Abraham Accords.”

Dershowitz, professor emeritus of Harvard Law School, represented Trump at his first impeachment trial and has said the Senate should dismiss the current impeachment article against him. Trump is accused of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

While Reuters hailed Kushner’s “Abraham Accords” as “the most significant diplomatic breakthroughs in the Middle East in 25 years,” many people on Twitter were not impressed.

I see that Jared Kushner has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace prize
I think this is a good time to share with people that I have been nominated for the England captaincy, my cheese-on-toast has just won a coveted third Michelin star and I have been appointed Poet Laureate

I do not think five Norwegian intellectuals will award the Nobel Peace Prize to Jared Kushner. https://t.co/RYg1JsFGgf

Just change the headline to "Jared Kushner nominated for Nobel Peace prize by his father-in-law's consigliere".
