Statement by the Embassy of Israel
The Embassy of Israel in Accra would like to clarify that, the embassy has had to suspend all its daily diplomatic activities such as consular services, meetings, and events, as of Wednesday 30 August 2019, due to internal budgetary issues between the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Israel’s Ministry of Finance.
This strike action is being carried out by all Israeli Missions abroad.
Israel and Ghana have good and long-lasting relations, that hopefully will last until the end of days.
