President John Dramani Mahama has delivered a sharp rebuke of the ongoing crisis in Gaza, urging the global community to call out the violence against Palestinians for what it truly is—crimes that must come to an end.
Addressing the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, President Mahama accused the international body of hiding behind watered-down language instead of confronting the scale of human suffering in Gaza.
“Ghana recognised the state of Palestine in 1988 and supported a two-state solution to the conflict,” he reminded the Assembly.
He explained that such a solution is not a concession to Hamas but rather a path to relief for “hundreds of thousands of innocent people who have been facing collective punishment and forced starvation simply for being Palestinian.”
Mahama criticised the UN for what he described as “two years of hide-and-seek with language” to avoid stating the obvious about the atrocities in Gaza.
Using a stark metaphor, he declared: “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. The crimes in Gaza must stop.”
