According to the Ghanaian government, this action significantly undermines the ongoing efforts to achieve peace between the States of Palestine and Israel, a process in which Qatar has played a crucial role.
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed solidarity with Qatar following the recent development.
“His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama and the People of Ghana stand in solidarity with the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the People of Qatar in these difficult times,” the statement added.
The statement praises Qatar for its “tireless and impressive commitment” to resolving the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
Furthermore, the government has appealed that this condemnable incident is not allowed to derail Qatar's effort in negotiating a peaceful diplomatic resolution of the conflict.
Ghana's stance emphasises the importance of diplomatic channels and adherence to international law in addressing geopolitical tensions.
