Ghana–Palestine relations

Ghana–Palestine relations

Ghana
Palestine

Ghana recognised Palestine as a sovereign state on 29 November 1988, during the nearly four-decade hiatus in Ghana–Israel relations between 1973 and 2011. Ghana was among 138 countries to vote in favour of admitting Palestine into the United Nations (UN) as a non-member observer state on 29 November 2012. Palestine maintains an embassy in the Ghanaian capital Accra.

Ghana and Israel have historically had cordial relations, with Ghana initially expressing support for Israel after the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups. However, Ghana has become increasingly critical of Israel's response to the attacks and its conduct during the Gaza war. On 26 September 2025, Ghanaian President John Mahama spoke to the UN General Assembly in support of the two-state solution and Palestinian statehood.
