Ghana Deports Three Israeli Nationals in Retaliation for Alleged Mistreatment of Ghanaians

The Government of Ghana has deported three Israeli nationals following the deportation of three Ghanaian citizens by Israeli authorities, which Ghana states involved mistreatment.

In a release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday in Accra, it stated that the Chargé d’Affaires ad Interim of the Embassy of the State of Israel was promptly summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as the Israeli Ambassador to Ghana is currently out of jurisdiction. Both Governments have agreed to resolve the matter amicably.

“The Government of Ghana will continue to safeguard the dignity of its nationals and also that of other nationals.

Ghana deeply values our relations with all friendly countries and expects our citizens to be treated with dignity and respect in much the same way as other governments expect Ghana to treat their nationals,” the statement said.
