The US government had also threatened to cut funding to countries that did not back its position.     <\/p>\n<p>The Israeli Embassy also expressed disappointment in Ghana saying, \u2018\u2019The Embassy of the State of Israel in Ghana therefore regrets the mistaken vote of Ghana against the State of Israel during the Special United Nation\u2019s (UN) General Assembly sitting on Thursday, 21 December 2017 as the assembly adopted a resolution regarding Israel\u2019s capital Jerusalem. We hope such mistake will not be repeated by Ghana in subsequent motions.\u2019\u2019   <\/p>\n<p>But in an interview with Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, the lawyer said, Ghana cannot be threatened by any country because \u2018\u2019we are a sovereign state.\u2019\u2019   <\/p>\n<p>According to him, the decision we took was one that expresses our foreign policy which we have held over the years and cannot be threatened for that.   He said, if by this decision aid to this country would be cut, so be it.  <\/p>\n<p>He also re-echoed the call by President Nana Akufo-Addo for Ghana and Africa to work hard and build their nations beyond foreign aid.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: 3 --><\/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 Monday, 25 December 2017 Source: rainbowradioonline.com 2017-12-25 Gary Nimako, Private legal practitioner Private legal practitioner, lawyer Gary Nimako, has taken a swipe at the United States President, Donald Trump, and the Israeli Embassy for threatening Ghana over the country\u2019s vote against the US President, Donald Trump\u2019s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":450052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-450051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>You cannot threaten a sovereign state like Ghana - Lawyer slams Trump, Israeli Embassy - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/25\/you-cannot-threaten-a-sovereign-state-like-ghana-lawyer-slams-trump-israeli-embassy\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"You cannot threaten a sovereign state like Ghana - Lawyer slams Trump, Israeli Embassy - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"General News of Monday, 25 December 2017 Source: rainbowradioonline.com 2017-12-25 Gary Nimako, Private legal practitioner Private legal practitioner, lawyer Gary Nimako, has taken a swipe at the United States President, Donald Trump, and the Israeli Embassy for threatening Ghana over the country\u2019s vote against the US President, Donald Trump\u2019s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/25\\\/you-cannot-threaten-a-sovereign-state-like-ghana-lawyer-slams-trump-israeli-embassy\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/25\\\/you-cannot-threaten-a-sovereign-state-like-ghana-lawyer-slams-trump-israeli-embassy\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"You cannot threaten a sovereign state like Ghana &#8211;
