The Israeli government has approved a proposal to designate the mass extermination of Armenian Christians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I as a genocide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s never too late to do the right thing,\u201d Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar posted Sunday on X. \u201cI thank Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the support and the government ministers for their unanimous support in approving the resolution proposal that I initiated for Israel\u2019s recognition of the Armenian Genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Sa\u2019ar said the Israeli government has \u201cfulfilled a moral obligation by recognizing the historical truth and rejecting attempts to deny it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For decades, Jerusalem avoided formally recognizing the mass killings and deportations of more than 1.5 million Armenians during World War I in order to preserve strategic and economic ties with Turkey.<\/p>\n

Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s Cabinet unanimously approved the resolution on Sunday. After it is approved by the Knesset, Israel will join 32 countries \u2014 including the United States \u2014 that have passed parliamentary or governmental resolutions acknowledging the Armenian genocide.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u2019s government objects to the term \u201cgenocide\u201d to describe the atrocities against the Armenian population by the Ottoman Empire that began in 1915. Ankara has never denied that a large number of Armenians died during the period, but it has argued that it was a tragic consequence of World War I, rather than a systematic campaign of extermination.<\/p>\n

The Israeli Cabinet vote comes amid growing tensions between Turkey and Israel, which had robust relations before the election of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He has accused Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip during its war against Hamas.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Turkish media, Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz called the Israeli resolution \u201can attempt to cover up their own crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
