General News of Monday, 21 May 2018Source: primenewsghana.comAkufo-Addo must recall Ghana's envoy to Israel - Ras MubarakRas Mubarak, Member of Parliament for KumbunguNational Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament, Ras Mubarak, has called on President Akufo-Addo to recall his envoy to Israel in the wake of Israel's killing of 60 Palestinian protesters, and the United States moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last week. According to the NDC MP, Akufo-Addo must join countries such as South Africa, Turkey and Ireland that have recalled their envoys, after Israel’s recent massacre of 60 unarmed Palestinian protesters at the Israel-Gaza buffer zone. It is inconceivable that Ghana - one of Africa’s first nations to gain independence - continues to have relations with Israel, a modern-day settler-colonial power,” Mubarak said. “I am proud that my country was on the right side of history in December’s vote against the US and Israel,” Mubarak said. “Ghanaian Members of Parliament and other progressive voices will continue to stand with Palestine, and will continue to strive and fight for justice for the Palestinian people”, Mubarak declared.
