Israel has expressed regret over Ghana’s vote against America’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as its (Israel) capital.
Ghana was among one of the 128 countries that voted against the US proposal at an emergency session of United Nations Thursday.
However, in a statement, the Israeli Embassy said, “The Embassy of the State of Israel in Ghana therefore regrets the mistaken vote of Ghana against the State of Israel during the Special United Nation’s (UN) General Assembly sitting on Thursday, 21 December 2017 as the assembly adopted a resolution regarding Israel’s capital Jerusalem. We hope such mistake will not be repeated by Ghana in subsequent motions.”
Below is the full statement:
The vote against the United States (US) by the United Nation’s General Assembly special sitting on Thursday, 21 December 2017 is nothing but a farce. The UN cannot dictate to Israel or any other country which of its cities it has to recognize as a capital. In the same regard, the UN cannot dictate to the US or any other country whether or not to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and where to site their embassies in Israel.
This voting by the UN General Assembly is meaningless from the view point of International Law. It is therefore evident that, the Palestinians are using all forms of diplomatic efforts in international organizations to fight against Israel instead of engaging in direct negotiations with Israel for the sake of peace.
As stated by Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel completely rejects this resolution. Jerusalem was, is and will always remain the eternal capital of Israel.
The Embassy of the State of Israel in Ghana therefore regrets the mistaken vote of Ghana against the State of Israel during the Special United Nation’s (UN) General Assembly sitting on Thursday, 21 December 2017 as the assembly adopted a resolution regarding Israel’s capital Jerusalem. We hope such mistake will not be repeated by Ghana in subsequent motions.
Is that So? So Israel can rather detect for Ghana in any resolution in future? Why did you “Israel ” wasting time by treating Ghana you should rather shut your embassy down in Ghana n walk out but not your useless treat we Ghana re not hypocrite by seen something which right and then says it’s wrong because of America and you Israel intrest.
There’s a place Ghana called sukura maybe it could a perfect capital for Haiti.I don’t understand the world anymore. Soon leaders should be forced to eat the people they kill.
What would be the difference even if Ghana had voted for Isreal?
Who are they to threaten Ghana? That was a stupid move on the part of israel. Why are they still in Ghana?At least they were able to withdraw that meagre contribution they make to the UN as fast as they could when they could not get their way with the UN. Well my suggestion to them, kick every Ghanaian out of israel, and while you are at it, pack all your damned belongings and leave Ghana. But do us a favor, promise not to have any dealings with us in any way, shape or form. Nonsense, that God’s chosen sham won’t work with us, not when there is innocent blood on israel’s hands.
