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 Paramount Chief of Bamvum, Abdulai Ziblim, has donated a one-acre plot of land at Jongshegu, a suburb of Tamale, to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for the construction of a new fire station.
The Northern Regional Commander of the GNFS, ACFO I Joseph Koranteng, led a delegation to formally accept the land and expressed appreciation to the Chief for his commitment to public safety.
The proposed fire station is expected to improve emergency response times and strengthen fire safety coverage as Jongshegu and surrounding communities continue to expand rapidly.
The Chief called on stakeholders to support the swift development of the facility, while ACFO I Koranteng described the donation as a strong example of collaboration between traditional authorities and state institutions to protect lives and property.

A 24-year-old tricycle (Pragyia) rider, has been jailed three months by the Nkawie Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region for biting a Community Police Assistant (CPA) at Nkawie.
Abdul Aziz pleaded guilty to the charge of negligently causing harm and was convicted on his own plea.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting told the court presided by Mr Robert Addo that, complainants in the case were officers from the Nkawie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
He said on September 3, at about 8:40am, the complainants led by Chief Inspector Abedi Larbi, were on their official patrol duty to ensure safety at Nkawie township and met the convict, who was in-charge of a Pragya tricycle with registration number M-25-A-3722.
He explained that, after a careful inspection, it was detected that the convict was without licence and other required documents, so Alhassan Seidu, the CPA, was instructed to lead him to the office for the next action.
On their way to the office, the convict took a different direction, so the CPA directed him to take the right route to the police station, but he disobeyed and attacked the CPA, resulting in a struggle between them.
In the process the convict bit the CPA on the chest, so he shouted for help and some nearby youth rushed to the scene and helped him to arrest the convict.
In his caution statement, he admitted the offence and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court. –GNA
