Israel Denounces the Decision to Award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported5m ago
Israel has strongly denounced the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, a human rights lawyer and former judge. The reaction included comparisons of the Nobel Committee to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
The controversy stems from Pillay's recent role as chair of an international commission that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Following the announcement of the prize, the United States announced sanctions against the International Criminal Court.
