Prime Minister Netanyahu also thanked Kushner and Berkowitz for their role in brokering peace in his speech.

In a statement to Reuters, nominee Jared Kushner said he was honored to be nominated for the prize.

Dershowitz, a constitutional scholar, best-selling author, and public commentator was eligible to nominate Kushner and Berkowitz because of his status as a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
