Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported10m ago
On Friday, South African jurist Navanethem "Navi" Pillay was awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee for her efforts to promote peace and human rights. Pillay, 85, previously led a United Nations inquiry that concluded Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Following the announcement, Israel’s Foreign Ministry sharply criticized the Nobel Committee's decision. The ministry accused Pillay of promoting a "genocide lie" and characterized the award as a grotesque weaponization intended to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.
