“Recognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people in the final years of the Ottoman Empire is both a moral and historical duty,” Sa’ar said in a Thursday post to X/Twitter, announcing the resolution. “We must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization, or distortion of the historical truth.” The Israeli government voted on Sunday to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide, following a resolution proposal put forth by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar late last week.
