“Each year we instill false hope in the people who are sitting here. It dishonors the Knesset to continue to go on and on about this issue, year after year, without reaching a decision that the State of Israel and the Israeli legislature recognize the genocide of the Armenian people,” MK Zehava Galon (Meretz), who initiated the meeting in the Education Committee, said August 1.
