Death has to end and the bombardment that prevents children from going to school has to end\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the people of conscience to bring the needed diplomatic pressure on Trump to rescind his decision because moving the USA embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will only exacerbate an already deplorable situation\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Ghana, like most countries in the international community has however taken a neutral stance on the Middle-East crisis.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 62 updated by: 62 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Wednesday, 20 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-20 Ras Mubarak, Spokesperson for the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign Members of the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, Ghana, Wednesday, went on a peaceful march to protest United States\u2019 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital.
