I think that it undermines our collective intelligence, it undermines our President\u2019s capacity to take decisions on behalf of the people of Ghana, and it insults our position on any other matter in international fora\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In view of this, he said there was no reason for Ghana to still \u201charbor such a person\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am totally appalled that our president is still trying to harbor such a person who has shown gross disrespect and disregard for our sovereignty\u2026 Without hesitation, we would have recalled our Ambassador from Israel and immediate and immediately expel the Ambassador of Israel to Ghana. This kind of disrespect should not be allowed to fester in our nation,\u201d Mr. Mornah said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Threats from US<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the vote, the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, warned that the US will remember countries that \u201cdisrespected\u201d it by voting against it.<\/p>\n<p>The US government had also threatened to cut funding to countries that did not back its position.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the threat, countries such as Nigeria, Congo, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Mali, and Zimbabwe all voted against the US\u2019 position.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: -1 --><\/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: citifmonline.com 2017-12-25 Chairman of the People\u2019s National Convention, Bernard Mornah The Chairman of the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has called for the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Ami Mehl, over his statement on Ghana\u2019s vote against a decision to recognize Jerusalem as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":398575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-450090","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 -
