Canada to cease arms exports to Israel

In a move marking a break with its recent practices, Canada declared the suspension of all arms exports to Israel.

This decision, relayed by the Jerusalem Post newspaper, was made official by Mélanie Joly, the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, following a non-binding vote in the Canadian Parliament.

In recent months, Canada has exported 28.5 million Canadian dollars worth of weapons to Israel, according to information conveyed by several international media.

This suspension measure is part of a context of reassessment of diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel, highlighting the significance of ethical and political considerations in international arms exchanges.
