(C) On July 14, Mission delivered reftel demarche to Director
of International Organizations John Kuleke at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Kuleke offered no substantive comment on
either the ICJ ruling or the Arab Group draft resolution
"accepting" it. However, he did acknowledge that Ghana had
abstained on the referral to the ICJ. He also noted that
"Ghana and Israel have good relations," and that Ghana has an
embassy in Tel Aviv. (Note: there is talk of Israel opening
an embassy in Accra). Kuleke concluded by saying that "we
(the ministry) will consult," and "we will make the
appropriate decision."
