Snippet:
The Israeli government has unanimously approved Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's proposal to recognize the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The official statement repeatedly invokes Israel's moral obligation. That immediately raises a simple question. If this was indeed a moral obligation, why did it suddenly become one only now?
