to bring forth resolution for Israel to recognize Armenian Genocide"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A resolution for Israel to officially recognize the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/christianworld\/article-895317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Armenian Genocide<\/a> will be submited at the upcoming government meeting by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Sa\u2019ar, announcing the resolution in a Thursday post to X\/Twitter, said that the proposed resolution will afterward be brought before the Knesset for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people in the final years of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/ottoman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ottoman Empire<\/a> is both a moral and historical duty,\u201d Sa\u2019ar affirmed. \u201cWe must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization, or distortion of the historical truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">\u201cDespite the extensive and unambiguous historical documentation, the Armenian Genocide remains to this day the subject of an institutionalized campaign of denial and minimization, including a manipulative rewriting of history books, mainly by Turkey,\u201d the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2026, 32 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/israel-news\/article-897572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UN<\/a> member states, including the United States, Canada, Russia, and Germany, have formally recognized the genocide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The Holy See and the European Parliament have also officially recognized the genocide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Over 200 memorials have been erected across 32 countries to commemorate the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The Armenian Genocide began in April 1915 and led to the deaths of approximately 1.5 million Armenians, as well as the systematic destruction of their heritage and culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Spearheaded by the Ottoman Empire&#8217;s Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), the Ottoman government arrested, deported, and murdered\u00a0hundreds of Armenian intellectuals and leaders in Constantinople before turning its attention to the remaining populace.<\/p>\n<p>Between 100,000 to 200,000 Armenian women and children were forcibly converted to Islam, and an estimated 800,000 to 1.2 million Armenians were forced on death marches through the Syrian desert, suffering mass murder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/rape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rape<\/a>, starvation and thirst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Survivors of the marches were sentenced to concentration camps, however the ethnic cleansing of survivors, carried out by Turkish nationalists, continued on through the Turkish War of Independence (1919\u20131923).<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">There are roughly 11 million ethnic Armenians alive today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A resolution for Israel to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide will be submited at the upcoming government
