"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?"

Navi Pillay — the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a former International Criminal Court judge — happened to be at the Nuremberg Court in Germany when she learned that she had won the Nobel.

Navanethem Pillay ist eine weltweit angesehene Juristin. Dass sie das Vorgehen Israels in Gaza scharf verurteilt und als Genozid brandmarkt kommt in Israel, den USA und Deutschland schlecht an. Die Reaktion des Außenministeriums in Israel aber ist völlig indiskutabel! www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

"Groteske Instrumentalisierung": Israel kritisiert Nobelpreisentscheidung scharf

Israel reagiert empört auf die Vergabe des Friedensnobelpreises. Das Außenministerium zieht einen gewagten Vergleich.
