Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar plans to propose a cabinet resolution on Sunday to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.
In a post on X, he said the resolution would subsequently be brought before the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, for a vote.
“I will bring before the Israeli government at its next meeting a proposed resolution for the official recognition by the Government of Israel of the Armenian Genocide. Recognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people in the final years of the Ottoman Empire is both a moral and historical duty. We must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization, or distortion of the historical truth. The resolution will subsequently be brought before the Knesset for a vote,” the Israeli FM said.
