"Now that the Nobel Committee has rewarded the biggest lie of the 21st century, Joseph Goebbels is guaranteed to be applauding in hell," the Israeli Foreign Ministry writes in a post, according to NTB.
If there were a prize for lies and hatred, Pillay would not only be a candidate; she would "be a favorite," the Israeli Foreign Ministry further writes.
The ministry also writes that Pillay has contributed to demonizing Israel.
Navanethem “Navi” Pillay is being awarded the Peace Prize for decades of work for peace and international law. A year ago, she was among those who declared that Israel's war in Gaza constituted genocide against the Palestinian population.
