The Government of Ghana has deported three Israeli nationals in direct response to the deportation of Ghanaian citizens at Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport.

Why it matters:

The move sends a clear diplomatic signal that Ghana is prepared to take reciprocal action to defend the dignity and rights of its citizens against the Israeli regime.

 

Key points:

  • The three Israeli deported nationals arrived in Ghana earlier today.
  • The Israeli Embassy’s Chargé d’Affaires ad interim in Accra was summoned for urgent consultations, as the Israeli ambassador is currently out of the country.
  • Earlier reports indicated that seven Ghanaian travelers were detained in Israel, with three later deported.

 

What we’re hearing: 

"Ghana deeply values its relations with all friendly countries and expects its citizens to be treated with dignity and respect, just as other governments expect Ghana to treat their nationals,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared in a statement.
