Ghana to Summon Israeli Embassy Officials Over Treatment of Nationals
The Government of Ghana is set to summon officials of the Israeli Embassy in Accra following concerns about the reported treatment of Ghanaian nationals in Israel.
According to senior government sources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing to formally engage the embassy after receiving multiple complaints describing what they consider unfair, disrespectful, or inappropriate handling of Ghanaians particularly in the context of heightened tensions in the region.
The move signals Ghana’s determination to protect the dignity and rights of its citizens abroad, especially at a time when many countries are reviewing their diplomatic interactions with Israel due to ongoing conflicts.
Officials say Ghana expects all partner nations to uphold international standards of treatment, regardless of the security or political challenges they may be facing.
The upcoming meeting is expected to address:
- The specific incidents involving Ghanaian nationals
- Ghana’s expectations regarding respectful engagement and consular conduct
- Possible diplomatic steps to prevent future occurrences
The Foreign Ministry is emphasizing that while Ghana values its long-standing relations with Israel, it will not hesitate to demand accountability where the safety and rights of its citizens are concerned.
Further updates are expected once the discussions with the embassy take place.
