Ghana has deported three Israeli nationals in a reciprocal response to the alleged mistreatment and unjustified deportation of three Ghanaians by Israeli authorities.
The three Israelis were expelled shortly after arriving in the country on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the move was necessary to uphold Ghana’s commitment to protecting the dignity and rights of its citizens abroad.
Following the incident, the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Israeli Embassy was summoned by the Ministry, as the Israeli Ambassador is currently out of the country. Both sides have since agreed to work toward an amicable resolution.
In a statement, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Okudzeto Ablakwa, emphasized that Ghana is committed to safeguarding the dignity of its citizens while maintaining respectful and cooperative relations with all friendly nations.
“The Ministry expects Ghanaians abroad to be treated with the same dignity and respect that the country extends to foreign nationals within its borders,” the statement added.
