Israel is considering officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide<\/b>, sparking strong reactions<\/b> and renewed diplomatic tension with Turkey<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In a particularly tense geopolitical environment<\/b> that is already testing the balance of power in the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean<\/b>, Tel Aviv\u2019s move to bring the recognition of the Armenian Genocide back to the table<\/b> takes on the character of a strategic political statement with broader implications<\/b>. The initiative by the Israeli foreign minister is not limited to a historical issue of remembrance<\/b>, but enters vigorously into the realm of contemporary diplomatic relations<\/b>, creating a new cycle tension<\/b> with Ankara and reshaping the framework of the already fragile Israeli-Turkish relations<\/b>. At the same time, the debate <\/b>brings back to the international forefront one of the most controversial and politically sensitive historical issues of the 20th century<\/b>, with potential consequences that go beyond the symbolic level and touch on active foreign policy power<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In a move that amounts to a diplomatic \u201cslap in the face\u201d to Turkey<\/b>, Israel\u2019s Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar<\/b>, announced that he will submit to the next meeting of the Israeli government<\/b> a proposal for the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide<\/b>, describing it as \u201ca moral and historical duty<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\nThe proposal <\/h3>\n
\u201c\u201cI will bring before the Israeli government, at its next meeting, a draft resolution for the Israeli government\u2019s official recognition of the Armenian Genocide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that \u201crecognizing the genocide committed against the Armenian people in the final years of the Ottoman Empire is a moral and historical duty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must also clearly condemn any denial, downplaying, or distortion of historical truth. The resolution will then be submitted to the Knesset for a vote,\u201d noted the Israeli Foreign Minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
