Canadian FM says she has recently suspended 30 permits for arm shipments to Israel

PM Justin Trudeau, he of the more hair than wit, only likes countries that are ruled by the Left of have fun native costumes for him to dress up in.

[IsraelTimes] ‘We won’t have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza,’ says Melanie Joly, adding she ordered review of all weapons contracts with Israel and other countries

Canada has suspended some 30 permits for arms shipments to Israel, including a rare move against a US company’s Canadian subsidiary’s deal with the US government, the foreign minister said Tuesday.

All of the export permits had been approved prior to a January ban on new sales of weapons that could be used in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said she had ordered a review of all Canadian weapons suppliers’ contracts with Israel and other countries.

"Following that, I suspended this summer around 30 existing permits of Canadian companies," she said.

A key ally of the United States, which provides Israel with billions of dollars a year in military aid, Canada drew the ire of Israeli leaders when it initially announced it would halt new arms shipments to Israel as of January 8.

Pro-Paleostinian protests against Israel across Canada — at universities, political events and even the Toronto International Film Festival last week — have continued to put pressure on the government to go further.

"Our policy is clear: We will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza. Period," Joly said.

"How they’re being sent and where they’re being sent is irrelevant," she continued, alluding to ammunition that was meant to have been produced by a Canadian division of US defense contractor General Dynamics for the Israel Defense Forces.

Joly added that the government is in contact about this issue with General Dynamics.

The topic of arms deliveries to Israel has triggered legal proceedings in several countries around the world.

Israel has historically been a top receiver of Canadian arms exports, with Can$21 million worth of military material exported to Israel in 2022, according to government data, following Can$26 million in shipments in 2021.

That placed Israel among the top 10 recipients of Canadian arms exports.

Britannia last week also said it would suspend some arms exports to Israel, asserting a "clear risk" that they could be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law, a move that was strongly denounced by Israeli leaders.
