Israel's Knesset Committee for Education, Culture, and Sports chaired by Alex Miller will discuss the Armenian Genocide recognition issue in early December.

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, who publicly expressed support for Genocide recognition in May 2011 will attend the discussions, similarly to another supporter of Genocide recognition campaign, representative of parliamentary coalition Ze’ev Elkin.

A resolution to submit the issue for Committee consideration was adopted at Knesset plenary sitting in May 2011. Preliminary estimates show the majority of Committee members are opposed to recognition of the Armenian Genocide for fear the issue might harm strategic cooperation with Azerbaijan.
