In a special Knesset plenum session marking the International Holocaust
Day, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said Israel cannot deny tragedies
that take place in other nations, whether they are "Armenian, Syrian
or others."
"Israel does not have the right to engage in Machiavellian politics
and deny the tragedies or genocides of other nations like the Syrians
or Armenians.
"We do not have the right to be apathetic towards attempts at
genocide in Africa, Asia or the Middle East, just as we do not have
the privilege to be apathetic towards those who threaten us," he said,
as reported by the Israeli press.
