Netanyahu sharply criticizes the Nobel Committee
Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday condemned the awarding of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, accusing the former UN investigator of spreading false allegations against Israel.
Assessment
Netanyahu's Friday statement attacks the Nobel committee's decision directly. He accuses Navi Pillay, the UN's former investigator, of spreading false allegations against Israel and argues the 2026 peace prize rewards that narrative. The dispute turns an annual award into a live political conflict. Watch which governments back the committee and which back Netanyahu.
