Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday for the first time that he recognizes the Armenian Genocide.
He made the remarks in an interview with Patrick Bet-David on his podcast.
Asked by Patrick Bet-David why Israel does not recognize the Armenian Genocide, and the genocide of Assyrians and Greeks in the early 20th century perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire, Netanyahu said, “I think we have. I think the Knesset passed a resolution to that effect,” though no such legislation has been passed into law.
Pressed on why no Israeli prime minister has recognized the genocide, Netanyahu responds, “I just did. Here you go.”
