This is the equivalent of “aww, don’t worry buddy… you’ll get it next time”. In other words, how you might treat a child (apologies to any children for the comparison).

This negotiating tactic is particularly smart because even though it can be used to gain favor with Trump/US, the final decision of who gets the prize is out of their control so someone else can be blamed if he doesn’t get it.

… but not if you support a group that protests against genocide.

The headline is a bit premature. They have only threatened to pull out if Israel takes part.
