News
Samuel O. Ablakwa, Foreign Affairs Minister

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that following the alleged "ill-treatment and unjustified deportation of three Ghanaian nationals by Israeli authorities," the Government of Ghana (GoG) has taken reciprocal measures by deporting three Israeli nationals who arrived in Ghana earlier today, Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

In a statement, the government explained that the Chargé d’Affaires ad Interim of the Embassy of the State of Israel was promptly summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in light of the absence of the Israeli Ambassador to Ghana. The two governments have since engaged in discussions and reached an agreement to resolve the matter amicably.

“The Government of Ghana remains committed to safeguarding the dignity of its nationals as well as that of other foreign nationals within its borders,” the statement, signed by Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel O. Ablakwa, emphasised.

“Ghana values its relations with all friendly nations and expects that our citizens are treated with dignity and respect, just as we extend the same treatment to foreign nationals in Ghana,” the statement concluded.
