ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the Israeli attitude towards recognition of the Armenian Genocide and examines closely the involvement of the State of Israel in two debates in the American Congress regarding the Armenian Genocide, as well as some debates in the Israeli Parliament. The resolution was introduced by Senator Robert Dole, the Republican leader of the United States Senate and a former presidential candidate. In 1994, the Armenian issue was raised in the Israeli Parliament. This time the debate centered on a report on Israeli First Channel Television. The reportage was connected to the curriculum that was being prepared about the Armenian Genocide and to the Armenian Memorial Day. The interview with Peres was conducted on the eve of his official visit to Turkey. Shimon Peres claimed in it that it is for historians to deal with such historical issues.
