A democracy research center director challenged Parliament opposition members after they demanded government neutrality regarding the Gaza conflict. Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh from the Centre for Democratic Development disagreed with minority lawmakers who criticized the Foreign Affairs Ministry. The legislators objected to ministry statements describing Gaza violence as genocide while expressing Palestinian solidarity.
Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member, argued such positions threaten Ghana's international impartiality. Prempeh responded through social media platforms, highlighting Ghana's established Palestinian recognition and two-state solution advocacy. He questioned the minority's knowledge of Ghana's diplomatic history, noting Palestine maintains embassy operations in Accra. The professor distinguished between potential right-wing preferences for neutrality and official Ghanaian foreign policy positions.
