- Reason
- Enormous EV, depicting two Israeli leaders (Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres) and one Palestinian leader (Yasser Arafat) recieving the Nobel Peace Prize for the Oslo Accords, one of the shaping moments in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and in the recent history of the Middle East in general. Great to have this official photo from 1994 in this high resolution, and the quality is quite good. FP in Commons. Failed to gain enough support before, but all issues were fixed.

- Support as nominator – Andrei (talk) 07:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Difficult to know how to vote - a hugely significant moment in history, but a pretty ordinary photo. I'm leaning towards oppose, as this award is about the photo. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- I get it but would argue that having those three in the same room is extraordinary, especially considering the circumstances. --Andrei (talk) 18:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose – Per previous. And overhead lamp glare is distracting. – Sca (talk) 12:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Support – Nyanardsan (talk) 00:29, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Support The photo is indeed not great, but was competently executed. There is strong EV here, which I think gets this across the line. Nick-D (talk) 11:34, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Support per Nick. I think. I agree it's a hard one to judge. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.4% of all FPs 16:31, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per above. Important, momentous event, and it's great that we have this picture, but it doesn't quite cross the line for me. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:50, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Support very iconic photograph in Israel. Tomer T (talk) 08:14, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Not quite sure about this. The Nobel Prize is significant in itself, but the most iconic image is surely that of the handshake with Bill Clinton behind (of which we don't have an FP-worthy version). --Paul_012 (talk) 23:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
