The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Shlomit Sufa, has indicated that Israel’s conflict is squarely with Hamas, a terrorist organisation in Gaza.
Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Wednesday, she emphasised that Israel’s fight is not with the Palestinian civilian population or Muslims.
In her view, Israel’s actions are aimed at countering a “terror entity” that is responsible for reigning violence and terror in their country.
“Hamas is a terrorist organisation that is working on the parameters and the ideology of ISIS. Our war is not with the civilian population, our war is not with the Palestinians, our war is not against Muslims, and our war is against a terror entity that has brutally and savagely killed whomever they could find along the way on October 7,” Ambassador Sufa told Evans Mensah.
She further explained the context of Israel’s actions, mentioning that Israel has faced a series of terror attacks and has suffered significant losses due to these attacks spearheaded by Hamas.
The Israeli government, according to Ambassador Sufa, is making every effort to minimise the impact on civilians and adhere to international legal standards.
“We are carefully making sure that the targets that we hit are legitimate in international law,” she said.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a significant loss of life, and has been a subject of international concern and debate.
Israel contends that it is acting in self-defense against a terrorist organisation that threatens its security, while many international observers have called for de-escalation and the protection of civilian lives.
The situation remains highly complex and continues to evolve, with calls for diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the hostilities and address the underlying issues contributing to the conflict.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has previously declared the nation’s readiness for a ground invasion of Gaza.
Ambassador Sufa praised this decision, viewing it as a “war against evil.”
More than 1,400 Israelis were killed when Hamas attacked communities near Gaza on 7 October, shooting civilians dead in their homes, in the streets and at a music festival.
Gaza’s health ministry says more than 5,000 people have been killed since Israel began bombing the territory in response, flattening entire neighbourhoods.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
