Navi Pillay, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, stated in a Wednesday interview with Sky News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be prosecuted for war crimes. Pillay also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, citing his language as potentially inciting violence.
Pillay, a South African jurist, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her "efforts to promote peace and international justice," according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. She previously served as a judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague and headed a UN commission that determined Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Her UN report concluded that Israel was perpetrating genocide against Palestinians.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the award, stating that if a prize existed for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Pillay would be its leading candidate. The ministry asserted that awarding her the Nobel Peace Prize was a perversion of the award, used to legitimize hatred and prejudice against Israel.
