Mike Johnson, Israeli speaker to rally for Trump getting 2026 Nobel Peace Prize

• "No one has ever deserved that prize more, and that is an objective fact," Johnson said at a press conference Tuesday morning.
• Johnson said that he and Ohana will "rally speakers and presidents of parliament around the world" to support Trump's nomination.
• Ohana said Monday that he would work with Johnson on the effort, adding that Trump deserves the "highest recognition" for his work in the Middle East.

Catch up quick: Trump and his allies have long argued that he deserves the award.

• The Nobel Committee awarded Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado this year's prize last week — just two days after Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of a peace deal.
• Trump told the UN General Assembly in September his efforts to resolve "unendable wars" around the world merited a Nobel Prize.

What they're saying: Leaders across party lines have praised Trump for his role in securing the agreement.

• Former President Joe Biden said on X that he's "deeply grateful and relieved" that the day had come that Hamas had freed the last 20 living hostages.
• Former President Bill Clinton said: "President Trump and his administration, Qatar, and other regional actors deserve great credit for keeping everyone engaged until the agreement was reached."
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said: "I commend the enormous advocacy of the tireless hostage families, President Trump, his administration, and all who helped make this moment happen."
