Four members of the Swedish Parliament have informed the Jerusalem Post that they have nominated the Peace Now movement in Israel for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
In a telegram to the Post they explained they “consider the Peace Now movement to be one of the most important elements in fostering a dialogue which could lead to peace between Israelis and Arabs … a solution to the conflict between Israel and the Arabs may also contribute to a lessening of tensions between the superpowers.”
Former Premier Menachem Begin shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat after conclusion of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty.
