Israeli Ambassador to Ghana clarifies opposition to UN reparations resolution

Israel’s Ambassador to Ghana, Roey Gilad, has clarified why his country could not support a recent United Nations resolution on reparations, pointing to concerns over what he describes as an attempt to rank historical atrocities. Speaking on JoyNews, Ambassador Gilad said Israel’s opposition was not a rejection of the suffering caused by the transatlantic slave trade, but rather a principled objection to describing it as “the gravest” crime against humanity.
