Nominated "for having worked tirelessly to protect the basic rights of Palestinians from oppression, both from the Israeli occupation regime and violent settlers", long-time Israeli peace activist Jeff Halper and his Palestinian counterpart, Issa Amro, have been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Halper leads political organisation Israeli Committee Against House Demonstrations. He and Issra Amro - who Saturday morning spoke to in June have travelled internationally together on speaking tours to raise awareness of the West Bank settlements - which are expanding at a faster rate this year under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
While it is illegal for Issa to peacefully resist, Jeff continues his work as something of an outlier. He speaks with Perlina.
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on 10 October and awarded on 10 December 2025, in Oslo, Norway.
