Nobel award to Navi Pillay deepens Israel’s rift with global institutions

Navi Pillay received this year’s Nobel Peace Prize after leading a U.N.-backed panel that said Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

Israel strongly rejects the accusation and called the prize anti-Israel.

The panel also accused Hamas of war crimes in its October 7, 2023, attack.

The dispute highlights growing tension between Israel and international institutions that investigate violations of international law.
