Mr. Ablakwa said that the operation guaranteed the safe return of civilians and certain diplomatic personnel from Ghana’s embassy in Tel Aviv in a Facebook message on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
“We have safely evacuated all Ghanaians who expressed the desire to be assisted by the Government of Ghana out of Israel back home,” he stated.
He expressed gratitude to both Israeli and Egyptian authorities for their cooperation in facilitating the evacuation process.
“I convey our appreciation to Israeli and Egyptian authorities for the cooperation. We warmly welcome our compatriots who arrived in Ghana a few hours ago,” he added.
Mr. Ablakwa further assured that the government remains committed to the safety and welfare of its citizens abroad.
“The Mahama Administration will continue with safe evacuation efforts as we prioritize the welfare of all Ghanaians,” he noted.
The evacuation comes amid ongoing concerns over the safety of foreign nationals in the region, prompting swift action from the Ghanaian government to protect its citizens.
