Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely criticized Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navanethem Pillay, accusing her of building a career on spreading "blood libels" against Israel. In an English statement, Netanyahu declared that the prize committee had "lost its moral compass" by honoring Pillay, whom he called a racist. He asserted that Pillay's greatest achievement was legitimizing a "corrupt prosecutor," Karim Khan, who allegedly sought to evade rape charges by joining her "mob."
Netanyahu's remarks came in the wake of Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize win. Pillay, a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, was recognized for her work in advocating for human rights. The specific context for Netanyahu's strong condemnation appears to relate to Pillay's past statements and actions concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, though the article does not detail these specifics.
