Israel debates whether Armenian killings genocide

(AP)? JERUSALEM ? Over their prime minister's objections, Israeli lawmakers are debating a proposal to recognize the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.

Doing so would likely further strain already acrimonious relations with Turkey, which denies the genocide label and insists the massacres occurred in civil unrest as the Ottoman Empire collapsed during World War I, with losses on both sides.

An Israeli government official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested that Monday's debate be canceled. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to disclose the information.

Israel has previously stopped short of recognizing the killings of 1.5 million Armenians as a genocide.

In recent years, however, ties with Turkey have frayed badly.
