The Ghanaian government has deported three Israelis after the West African nation decried the "mistreatment" of its nationals by Israel.

"Following the ill treatment and unjustified deportation of three Ghanaian nationals by Israeli authorities, the government of Ghana has been compelled to retaliate by deporting three Israelis who arrived in Ghana earlier today," Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday.

Ghana added that it will "continue to safeguard the dignity of its nationals and also that of other nationals."

Earlier, Ghana said its nationals were subjected to "inhumane and traumatic" treatment at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv city on Sunday.


Accra said in a statement that it was "appalled" by the conduct of Israeli authorities, noting that since Sunday, Ghanaian nationals arriving in Israel had been "deliberately targeted" for harsh scrutiny.

Ghana's foreign affairs ministry further said its citizens were detained without a justification.

Among them were four members of a parliamentary delegation attending the Annual International Cybersecurity Conference in Tel Aviv city.

Their release reportedly came only after more than five hours of what the ministry described as "strenuous diplomatic intervention." The remaining three travellers were deported on the next flight and have since returned to Ghana.

In its latest statement, Accra said it had agreed to "resolve the matter amicably" with Israel.

I don't want to commend our Ghanian neighbors...

But I have to.🙈

This is a good response from Ghana.Pride and dignity in who you are as a country.They are many lessons in diplomatic relations to learn from this by another now disgraced country somewhere in Africa can pick a lesson or two from here.

Imagine being tossed around and subjected to demeaning and dehumanizing treatments by countries of the world. Even shitty irrelevant countries just because they know the disgraced country's government is inept, irresponsible and would do absolutely nothing to preserve the dignity of its citizens.


This is just testing by the isreal's of the Ghanians to see how far they can be pushed and the Ghanians have responded the right way.... no we won't take that treat us with respect kind of response. Imagine if this was the disgraced country what their response would be or if they would respond at all. What would a certain abike or the ministry of foreign affairs do?


The truth of the matter is no one would ever respect you if you don't respect yourself as a country. People will only treat and mirror the image you project.


I don't like to say this but I shamefully admit it. I'm proud of our egg eating neighbors on the the other side for this action. What they have done is commendable!🙈
