Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Thursday told U.S. President Donald Trump that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in securing a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, the Egyptian presidency said.

In a phone call, Al-Sisi congratulated Trump on the success of his efforts to end the war in Gaza, describing the deal as a “historic achievement” and crediting the U.S. president’s “sincere efforts in bringing it to fruition,” the presidency said in a statement.

For his part, Trump expressed great happiness with the “historic accomplishment” and praised the strong friendship between the United States and Egypt, the statement added. He noted the world’s focus on Egypt’s pivotal role in the Sharm El-Sheikh negotiations that led to the agreement.

Al-Sisi also invited Trump to attend a celebration in Egypt to mark the signing of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The US president warmly welcomed the invitation, according to the statement.
