The winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is expected to be announced today (October 10, 2025). While U.S. President Donald Trump has surged in odds to possibly win the prize following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, experts and insiders suggest it is unlikely that he will receive it this year. The Norwegian Nobel Committee generally looks for evidence of lasting peace and sustainable reconciliation, and some experts believe Trump’s peace efforts, including his recent 20-point peace plan, do not yet meet that threshold. Other contenders include Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, Yulia Navalnaya (widow of Alexei Navalny), various UN agencies, and international organizations focused on peace and democracy. The Nobel Committee’s decision was likely finalized before the recent Gaza ceasefire, which diminishes the immediate impact of that event on the prize outcome. The announcement will be made in Oslo, Norway today at 11 AM local time (09:00 GMT).
