Two Palestinian Doctors, Trump and UNRWA Among Reported 2026 Nobel Peace Prize Nominees

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner is set to be announced in Oslo on October 9, with two Palestinian doctors, Donald Trump and the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, among the reported nominees.

The nomination field comprises 287 candidates, including 208 individuals and 79 organizations, according to the supplied summary.

The two Palestinian doctors were not identified in the information provided, which also gave no details about who nominated them or the grounds for their nominations.

Trump and UNRWA feature among the prominent names cited, but their inclusion in reports of nominations does not establish their standing in the selection process.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee does not publicly confirm the names of current nominees. A reported nomination should therefore not be treated as an official shortlist or an indication of who is likely to receive the prize.
