Ghana has deported three Israeli nationals in a direct response to what it describes as the ill-treatment and unjustified deportation of three Ghanaians by Israeli authorities.
The three Israelis, who arrived in Ghana earlier today, were removed from the country after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Israeli Embassy’s Chargé d’Affaires.
The Israeli Ambassador is currently out of the country.
In a statement, the Ministry said both governments have agreed to work toward an amicable resolution of the incident, which has triggered diplomatic concern between the two states.
Ghana emphasised that it would continue to protect the dignity of its nationals abroad and uphold the rights of foreign nationals within its borders, noting that mutual respect is essential in its relations with all friendly nations.
“Ghana deeply values its relations with partner countries and expects its citizens to be treated with dignity and respect, just as other governments expect Ghana to treat their nationals,” the statement added.
The Ministry has urged the media to report responsibly as discussions between the two governments continue.
