Canada suspends 30 arms export permits to Israel, prohibiting Canadian-made weapons from reaching the Gaza Strip.

Canada has suspended 30 arms export permits to Israel and prohibited Canadian-made weapons from reaching the Gaza Strip, as announced by Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly. This follows a January ban on new arms permits amid ongoing humanitarian concerns. The U.S.'s plans to send Quebec-made ammunition to Israel prompted this stricter stance. Civil-society groups are advocating for a total ban on military exports to Israel due to potential violations of international humanitarian law.
