Israel’s foreign ministry criticized the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Navi Pillay, calling it a “grotesque weaponization” of the award to legitimise “anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.” Pillay, a former international tribunal judge, led the UN commission that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza. The Nobel committee recognised her efforts to promote peace and international law, stressing the importance of an organised international order. The award comes amid US President Donald Trump’s campaign against the International Criminal Court, which issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister. The committee’s citation mentioned neither Trump nor Israel. #nobelpeaceprize #news #nobelprize
