Jared Kushner is being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Reuters reports attorney Alan Dershowitz nominated former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law for his work easing diplomatic relations between Israel and a number of Arab nations. The Harvard Law School professor emeritus wrote in his nomination letter the prize is not a popularity contest. Kushner played a key role in the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Meanwhile, The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian MP Petter Eide “for their struggle against racism and racially motivated violence,” according to his official nomination papers.

“BLM’s call for systemic change have spread around the world, forcing other countries to grapple with racism within their own societies,” he added.
