ArmInfo. Several opposition MPs have submitted a bill Tuesday to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide and hold a memorial day for it every April 24, The Jerusalem Post reports.
The bill was submitted by Shas MPs Ya'acov Margi, Haim Biton and Moshe Arbel alongside Likud MPs Yuli Edelstein, Israel Katz and Yoav Kish.
This is not the fist time an attempt has been made in the Knesset for Israel to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.
In 2018, Meretz MP Tamar Zandberg proposed a bill to recognize the massacre as genocide, but the bill was canceled due to government resistance.
