Israel's acknowledgment of Armenian genocide might heighten Turkey tensions

The Israeli government officially announced today, Sunday, unanimously recognizing the Armenian genocide that occurred during World War I at the hands of the Ottoman Empire over 110 years ago. This recognition comes amid deteriorating relations between Israel and Turkey, especially after the outbreak of the war in Gaza and mutual accusations between the two sides; Turkey accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, while former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu described Erdogan as an antisemitic dictator. The decision will not take effect until it is approved by the Israeli Parliament, and it represents a rare move in Israel’s history, which had avoided formal recognition of the Armenian genocide for years in order to maintain its relations with Turkey.
