The Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister qualified the move to 'cease the further authorization and transfer of arms exports to Israel,' already paused since January 8, as 'a real thing,' and not merely symbolic.

Israel has historically been a top receiver of Canadian arms exports, with CAN$21 million worth of military materiel exported to Israel in 2022, according to Radio Canada, following CAN$26 million in shipments in 2021. That places Israel among the top 10 recipients of Canadian arms exports.
