Israel challenges Turkey and acknowledges Armenian genocide

The Israeli government unanimously decided to recognize the 1915 Armenian genocide after tensions between Israel and Turkey escalated and the political crisis worsened following Israel's campaign in Gaza in October 2023. The decision requires approval from the parliament to take effect. Turkey is among the strongest opponents of this declaration, rejecting the characterization of what happened as genocide and considering it an ethnic war. The rising tensions between the two countries coincide with Turkey's statements and its regional role, as well as disputes related to developments in Syria.
