Trump Slams Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Accuses Her of Hating Israel

Former U.S. President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Navi Pillay, the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, accusing her of hating Israel. Trump claimed Pillay, who chaired a UN committee that determined Israel committed genocide in Gaza, was unknown and that the prize should have gone to him for ending eight wars. He asserted on the Social Truth network that he had resolved numerous conflicts, including between Pakistan and India, and was close to resolving others with Iran and Russia-Ukraine. Trump stated he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes, listing Cambodia-Thailand, Kosovo-Serbia, DRC-Rwanda, Pakistan-India, Israel-Iran, Egypt-Ethiopia, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Israel-Hamas as conflicts he ended. He also claimed credit for preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and for facilitating the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Trump cited Corina Machado, who he said awarded him a Nobel Prize last year, as agreeing with his peace record. He also mentioned his role in ousting Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and preventing Iran from threatening Israel, the Middle East, and Europe.

Pillay, a South African lawyer and former International Court of Justice judge, was awarded the prize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo for her efforts to promote peace and international law. The committee cited her "steadfast commitment to universal legal principles and her moral compass" throughout her career, including her defense of Nelson Mandela against apartheid. The committee's citation highlighted her work in preparing a UN report that concluded Israel committed genocide against Palestinians.
