New Report Finds Canada Continued to Arm Israel Despite Pledging to Halt Arms Shipments

HeadlineJul 30, 2025

A new report finds Canada continued to arm Israel despite pledging to halt arms shipments back in January of last year. Researchers from World Beyond War, the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East and Independent Jewish Voices uncovered Israeli import data and publicly available shipping records showing the Canadian government had sent weapons parts and ammunition to Israel.

Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders plans to force a vote to block U.S. arms sales to Israel. In a statement, Senator Sanders said, “U.S. taxpayers have spent tens of billions of dollars in support of the racist, extremist Netanyahu government. Enough is enough. We cannot continue to spend taxpayer money on a government which has killed some 60,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 143,000 — most of whom are women, children and the elderly.”
