Accra, Ghana – The Palestinian Embassy in Ghana has called on the international community to impose sanctions and pursue legal action against Israel following the passage of a new law authorising the death penalty for certain Palestinian detainees.

Charge d’Affaires Mr. Ahmed Abu Dalfa described the legislation, passed by the Israeli Knesset on March 30, 2026, as a blatant violation of international law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.

He labelled the law as “apartheid legislation” that institutionalises racial discrimination by applying capital punishment to Palestinians convicted of “nationalistic” or terrorism-related offences while exempting Israelis for similar acts.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra, Mr. Dalfa highlighted documented human rights abuses against Palestinians, including killings, starvation, sexual abuse, enforced disappearances, withholding of bodies, and denial of fundamental rights.

He expressed deep concern over the deteriorating conditions of more than 9,500 Palestinian prisoners — including women and children — in Israeli detention, even after a ceasefire.

“A law that prescribes death for one group while exempting another for the same act is not a law of justice but a legal instrument for domination and segregation,” he said.

Mr. Dalfa urged immediate diplomatic pressure, targeted sanctions, and stronger engagement with international judicial bodies to ensure accountability. The press conference was attended by representatives from the Cuban and Algerian Embassies, underscoring regional diplomatic solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

The statement reflects growing frustration with what the embassy described as continued global inaction amid persistent violations in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
