Former U.S. President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the decision to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, who led a UN commission that accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Pillay is unknown and "hates Israel." He claimed the prize should have gone to the United States under his leadership, citing his role in ending eight wars.

Trump asserted that his diplomatic achievements warranted eight Nobel Peace Prizes, not one. He listed ending conflicts involving Iran, Hamas, India-Pakistan, and Armenia-Azerbaijan among his accomplishments. He specifically highlighted his actions to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and to secure the release of hostages in Israel.

Trump criticized Pillay's leadership of the UN Human Rights Council commission, which issued severe findings against Israel regarding the war with Hamas, findings that Israel rejected. He stated that his administration did not need UN assistance in ending wars and that the UN was unhelpful.

Concluding his remarks, Trump declared the award a "stain on Norway" and accused the Nobel Committee of losing credibility due to "radical ideologues" who oppose democracy and are enemies of civilization.
