Israel Authorities Issues Apology Over Deportation Action, Calls for De-escalation – Ablakwa Reveals

In a significant diplomatic turn, Israeli authorities have formally apologized to Ghana following the controversial deportation of three Ghanaians, a move that had earlier triggered a reciprocal response from Accra. According to North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Israel is now calling for calm and urging both nations to de-escalate the tension.

Ablakwa, who has closely monitored developments since the dispute began, disclosed that Israel has acknowledged that the deportations were mishandled. The apology is being interpreted as a gesture aimed at repairing rapidly fraying relations, especially after Ghana responded by removing three Israeli nationals under similar circumstances.

Diplomatic sources indicate that conversations between senior officials from both sides have intensified, with both parties seeking to avoid further diplomatic fallout. The apology marks one of the clearest signals yet that Israel wants the matter resolved amicably and swiftly.

Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Ministry is expected to release additional guidance as the two countries work through the de-escalation process. Observers note that the swift exchange of apologies and diplomatic engagement reflects the deep security, technology, and development partnerships that both nations stand to lose if the situation escalates.

As the story continues to evolve, Ablakwa maintains that Ghana remains committed to ensuring that its citizens are treated with dignity abroad while preserving long-standing international alliances.
