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.

JESUS WAS BORN IN THE STATE OF PALESTINE. JESUS IS A PALESTINIAN. NAZARETH IS IN PALESTINE. MARY AND JOSEPH ARE PALESTINIANS. JESUS WORKED IN THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM TO TEACH THE SCRIBES AND RABBIS. JESUS DIED IN JERUSALEM. JESUS WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM WHICH IS PALESTINE. JESUS WAS REJECTED AS A PERSON FROM GOD BY THE JEWS. OH JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM, ... HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I WANTED TO BRING YOU TOGETHER AS A HEN BRINGS ITS CHICKENS TOGETHER IN SAFETY ... BUT YOU WOULD NOT ... BEHOLD YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE; SAID JESUS. READ THE WORD. MY BELOVED FRIENDS OF JESUS: FORGET ABOUT THE CAPITAL CITY ON EARTH. JESUS IS BUILDING A NEW JERUSALEM. IN THAT CITY, EVERYBODY IS WELCOME.
I have noticed that some people are not reading the Israeli Ambassador's public statement critically. Some people are uninformed about the Syrian War and those behind rebel groups and terrorists. We are talking about another state regarding our independent decisions as "mistake" and "warning" us not to vote in a certain way. Those relying on religion to make their case in this matter is totally baffling and ***barred word***; with weak arguments in the face of historical facts. Simply, it's shameful and "morborful" of not reading and understanding the underlying implications of the ambassador's statement.
Irbad Ibrahim is a fraudster and criminal...that so called security analyst.
What is all this trash little minded people are talking about Ghana been Christian country and voted against Israel? We are not voting on religious bases , clowns! We vote on political fundamentals and beliefs. Israel and USA should stop the bulling tactics and grow. Israel embassy in Ghana , be informed that Ghana have The right to vote as pleases at UN and neither Israel or America can do anything . ***barred word*** sam enkoa na mu di!
Ghana is a begging state with blacks as citizens so what impact can our vote has?TRUMP don't mind the monkeys and go ahead and change the world . America first Israe second
That vote was a mistake and Ghana should at least have abstained.First of all Russia after murdering hundreds in Syria vetoed any security Council resolution on the Syrian crisis,Assad has gassed and murdered thousands of his own countrymen and none of the sycophantic third world countries in the General Assembly who shout themselves shrill anytime an issue against America is raised and cannot even pay their dues to the UN raised any issue about it.Jerusalem has ,is ,and will always be the capital of Israel.Palestinian youths will throw some pebbles at the Israeli police and they will be shot and their corpses will be carried around the streets of Ramalla whiles Al-Jazeera will film it and project the Palestinians as helpless victims of Israeli brutality.Trust me nothing will change. When the state of Israel was born it had no standing army but in the face of an onslaught from all the Arab states they still prevailed.Today that Israel has one of the best Air Force in the world and possesses nuclear weapons the Palestinians don't have a chance Their best bet?The 2 state solution and they can have their capital everywhere except in Jerusalem.
Just as un cannot dictate to isreal.... isreal should not dictate to ghana
And yet we pride ourselves of being a Christian nation with a Christian president. Like Trump or hate him, this vote is not against him or the Israeli nation. It is an insult to God and it's very sad.
Hmmmmm!!! We pride ourselves as Christians who celebrate both the birth and death of Jesus. So who was the ghanaian delegates who voted against Jerusalem as lsrael's capital ? Even in our Sunday school lessons, teacher's thought us king David established jerusalem and king Solomon built the temple so where from this byforce pushing of israel from its jerusalem..
Jerusalem will always be capital of Israel irrespective of UN condemnation. Jerusalem is for Israel Period.
