Ghana has deported three Israeli nationals in a reciprocal response to the alleged ill-treatment and deportation of three Ghanaians by Israeli authorities. The Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the move on Wednesday, December 10, stating it followed incidents at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport where Ghanaian travelers were detained and deported without cause.
