Speaking at a rally in Syracuse, New York, U.S. President Donald Trump fiercely criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to South African lawyer Navi Pillay. Trump described the decision as "a disgrace and shameful," stating it left an "indelible stain" on Norway. He referred to Pillay as a "mysterious person" whom he had never heard of, adding, "Nobody has heard of her."
Trump reiterated his role in resolving or preventing international conflicts, asserting he deserved not one, but eight Nobel Peace Prizes. Navi Pillay was honored in Oslo on October 9 for her efforts to promote peace and international law. She previously served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, a judge at the International Criminal Court, and headed a UN commission that alleged Israel committed genocide in Gaza, claims Israel vehemently rejects.
Trump declared the Nobel Peace Prize "forever discredited" by this decision and accused committee members of ideological bias, warning, "And we will not forget, Norway."
Earlier, the office of the Israeli Prime Minister commented that the Nobel Committee had "lost its moral compass" by awarding its highest honor to a "fanatic" who built her career on fabricating and spreading blood libels against the world's only Jewish state.
