I wonder why there's no sensible person left in the NPP even the young ones are worse. Abu Jinapor should zip it because, there's no sense in his comment. How can Ghana be mute seeing people killed and maimed every now and then by Israel. So in his mind, nonaligned means heartlessness, right?

Honourable Abu Junapor has spoken with wisdom.
I liked NPP during Kuffours’s era but not the Akuffo Addo regime but I quickly add Honourable Junapor has said the right thing.
Ghana should not be dabbling in complicated issues like this nature. However , it is worth noting that the 7th October, 2023 has brought all these difficulties between Israel and Hamas. Besides, Israel is just a tiny country surrounded by hostile nations and is fighting , mind you an existential threat. Israel is fighting for the survival to exist.
The Foreign Minister should therefore be circumspect with his dealing in this matter not appearing as if taking sides.
Honourable Samuel Junapor good contribution to the people’s parliament.
Take or not it is a good advice.

Neutral when a bully is beating up your classmate?
That's complexity. Ghana and Africa have always sided with the bullied because we have, and are, suffering bullying.

Someone should tell these discredited NPP guys that if they don't stand for something, they'll fall for anything. It was the same stupid attitude Busia adopted during the apartheid era, some nonsense about constructive engagement with the apartheid regime. Israel is committing massive genocide and you want our government to be silent? Such nonsense.

What arrant nonsense by Abu Jinapor. What the foreign Minister Hon Sammy Okudjeto said was in consonance with the conclusion of the UN Special Committee tasked to investigate cases of war crimes in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We may be nonaligned but it's our tradition to side with the oppressed against the oppressors. Why are the NPP rallying against the stance already taken by South Africa by summoning Israel before the ICC. Are we surprised, of cause not because the predecessors of the NPP, the Progress Party were in cahoots with the apartheid South African regime.

Neutrality should mean condemning everything that fuels the conflict, including speaking up against the terrorists and their sponsors (Iran) and the continuous stealing of Palestinian lands by Israelis. Taking on only Israel while ignoring the rest is hypocrisy. Our government should also speak up against Palestinian Arab racism against Afro-Arabs or black Arabs in Palestine to free dark skin Arabs from light skin Palestinian Arab oppression.

IF INDIA AND SERBIA HAVE EXPRESSED DISSATISFACTION WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GAZA: WHAT STOPS GHANA FROM DOING THE SAME? MAYBE FEAR!
WE NEED LEADERS -- IN ANY CAPACITY -- WITH BACKBONES. APPARENTLY HONORABLE JINAPOR LACKS A BACKBONE. HE MUST LEAVE THE FOREIGN MINISTER ALONE TO WORK FOR OUR BELOVED GREAT GHANA. MAY LORD ALMIGHTY CONTINUE TO PROTECT AND BLESS OUR BELOVED GREAT GHANA: AMEN!!!

Yiu are not wise. You think this Israel is what in the Bible. If Hamaa is wrong you punish and destroy innocent people, then Hitler will say there is reasons for the HOLOCAUST. Because he also blamed Israelites for economic sabotage against Germans in Germany. Natanyaho is totally wiping out entire Gazans and you are supporting him.

People criticize Islam because their God calls for violence and the killings of innocent people. Go back in history and you'll find that the countries or states that committed the most heinous crimes against humanity are the ones that will identify as Christians. Hitler who supposedly killed over 6 million Jews was a Christian. And today you have almost every Christian in the world staunchly supporting Israel in its killings of innocent lives in Gaza. Reflect on that!

Sak has the statement Okudzeto Ablakwa made an end to the conflict?The Palestinians should learn from Egypt and make peace with Israel. This conflict has been there even during Rawlings time. What was he able to do about it? As a foreign minister you represent the whole country and not your party. So you have to think about things before you speak. Unnecessary press conference doesn't help.

Ghana has not abandoned its neutral stance. What is going on in Gaza is indicative of the fact that some people are above the law while the rest are expected to abide by it or die. The United States support Israel no matter what they do, and at this moment nations are beginning to realize all this preach about democracy, shared values, human rights, and international law is just a hoax to keep countries in check. Ghana cannot be on the wrong side of history in this situation.

What principle of neutrality? Ghana abandoned that principle when it allowed the US to establish a military base in the country. There are only a few truly neutral countries in the world, and Switzerland is a prime example. It has no military agreement with any country; so it doesn't support any country militarily, and doesn't comment on any country's military activities
