The Embassy of the State of Israel in Ghana, Friday said, it “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.
The world body’s Assembly voted to adopt a resolution regarding Israel's capital Jerusalem.
“We hope such mistake will not be repeated by Ghana in subsequent motions,” a statement issued by the Embassy’s Press Coordinator, on behalf of the Ambassador, Ami Mehl, stated.
“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 statement, therefore, said the vote against the United States (US) by the United Nation’s General Assembly was a farce.
“The UN cannot dictate to Israel or any other country which of its cities it has to recognise as a capital,” it said.
“In the same regard, the UN cannot dictate to the US or any other country whether or not to recognise 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.”
US President Donald Trump on December 6, announced the US’ recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and directed the State Department to start making arrangements to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Officials reportedly say the process would take at least three years.
Ghana was among the 128 countries, which voted to condemn Mr Trump’s announcement.
However, nine countries voted in favour, while 35 abstained from the voting.

Whether we like it or not Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel.
The UN has again proved beyond every reasonable doubt that it is a false Messiah and a false prince of peace and cannot achieve its aim of global peace, by rejecting the whole of Jerusalem, historically called the City of David as the Capital of Israel. Lets take cognizance of the fact that under the auspices of the UN, the International Criminal Court recently jailed a Jihadist for destroying Islamic historical sites in Mali. The same UN is aware that the whole of Jerusalem historically called the City of David, Bethlehem where Jesus was born and the river Jordan where Jesus was baptized are historical sites in Israel for Christians in all over the world. Today under the auspices of the same UN, Bethlehem cannot be found on the map of Israel and the river Jordan can also not be found on the map of Israel and finally Jerusalem is also being taken away from Israel. It is crystal clear that the UN by the example in Mali as mentioned, is vigilantly protecting the historical sites of Islam and at the same time destroying the historical sites of Christians in Israel which seems to me legally unjustified. By her own Judicial precedence and Judgment, the UN should be compelled to appear before the International Criminal Court and be compelled to explain why it should not face criminal charges for destroying historical sites of Christians in Israel and in the process removing the said historical sites from the map of Israel.
For me ; I think Ghana was right to vote against Donald Trump's dictate and may God BLEES mine home land Ghana !!!!; the question is why should Ghana get involve in this hypocritical mess up between the Israelis and the people of Palestine; like most nations in Africa ; Israel was created and demarcated by the UK and US of which the people living there the Palestines were thrown out with the collusion of the UK and US ; the Zionist Israelis claim ownership of the land per a covenant with God ; the question is did the Israelis; UK and the US not aware that there people living there as their homeland ; the worse part is that the current so jewish people are not the real Jewish people ; they are the Ashkanishi from Turkey ; the Pm -Nyatanyahu is from eastern Europe ; most of the people living in Isreal today are not jewish ; it is just like saying that since most people in Ghana are Christian and practice Judeo/christianity today they are jewish people because they are not ; the aim of the this Zionist is to fulfil what has been written in the Torah that Jerusalem is the home of the Jewish people; the same is the case for Jesus ; most Jewish people do not believe in Jesus because they believe the basic evidence of the presence of the messiah have not been fulfilled ; Ghana can't get involve and will never back Israel against the Palestine because it is a complex religious problem bordering on religious beliefs that can never be solved ; IF ISREAL WANTS TO HELP GHANA THAT IS BUSINESS BUT GHANA SHOULD STAY OUT OF SUCH COMPLEX RELIGIOUS WHICH WILL NEVER END !!!!! ;
