Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa
Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa, has called for a concerted effort to support victims of the Israel-Gaza conflict, particularly women affected by the events of October 2023.
She said voices of women and affected communities were heard in all conflict resolution and peacebuilding processes.
The Israeli Ambassador said this in Accra at a press conference on the topic “the fight against sexual violence in Israel, insights from October 7.”
Ms Sufa said this was the time to distribute the information on sexual violence, adding that it was important for people to be aware of the sexual violence that took place.
“This is not political bias. It is a matter of being on either side of the conflict. It is morally wrong,” she said.
She noted that Israel has been actively engaging with international partners and organisations to combat sexual violence.
Ambassador Sufa called for global recognition of the trauma inflicted by Hamas and the suffering endured by the victims, and called on all relevant and competent bodies, both national and international to bring all perpetrators regardless of their rank and affiliation to justice.

The Supreme Court has heard arguments in an application for interlocutory injunction filed by former GIIF CEO, Mr. Solomon Asamoah, the first accused person in the ongoing Skytrain scandal trial.
Mr. Asamoah has filed a certiorari application at the Supreme Court seeking to quash the High Court’s decision to dismiss his submission of no case, as well as an order quashing what he describes as a variation of his bail conditions.
Pending the determination of the certiorari application, he is asking the Supreme Court to injunct proceedings at the trial court.
The Attorney-General is opposed to both applications.
The Court, constituted by Justice Senyo Dzamefe, JSC, sitting as a sole judge of the Supreme Court, heard arguments from Mrs. Victoria Barth, counsel for the applicant, and Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, and has adjourned the case to Monday, August 31, at 10 a.m. for a ruling.
The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has extended the deadline for submission of event proposals for the 2026 edition of December in GH to Monday, September 7, 2026.
The extension gives event organisers, promoters, cultural innovators and experience creators additional time to submit concepts for inclusion in Ghana’s premier festive season.
This year’s December in GH calendar will run from December 1, 2026 to January 3, 2027, featuring culture, creativity, entertainment, heritage and unforgettable experiences.
According to the Authority, as a defining expression of the Black Star Experience, the season continues to evolve beyond a calendar of events into a nationwide cultural journey showcasing the rhythms, stories, flavours and expressions that make Ghana unique.
Selected events will form part of the official December in GH 2026 programme and will be integrated into the national campaign and amplified through GTA’s local and international promotional platforms.
