Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, together with the former envoys to the U.S. and Israel were nominated on Sunday for a Nobel Peace Prize by attorney Alan Dershowitz for spearheading the normalization deals between Israel and several Arab countries.
Kushner said he was honored by the nomination, the Reuters news agency reported.
The so-called Abraham Accords saw Israel establishing diplomatic relations with the UAE and Bahrain in September and more recently with Sudan and Morocco.
Dershowitz, who defended former President Donald Trump in his first impeachment trial, is eligible to submit nominations for the prize in his capacity as a professor emeritus of Harvard Law School.
