Israel criticises Nobel Prize committee for giving peace prize to Indian-origin Pillay

Israel has criticised Nobel Prize committee after Indian-origin South African jurist Navanethem 'Navi' Pillay was awarded the peace prize. "It has awarded its highest honor to a bigot who built her career around inventing and propagating blood libels against the one and only Jewish state," Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said. She served as an International Criminal Court judge.
