In September 2024, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, M\u00e9lanie Joly, even stated, \"There are no Canadian weapons or weapon components that will end up in Gaza.<\/a>\"<\/p>\n This data confirms that arms transfers continued throughout 2024 and 2025<\/strong>, using permits issued before the suspension announced in January 2024, and that new permits were even granted.<\/p>\n In a context of genocide and famine, Canada\u2019s decision to continue transferring arms to Israel, under the assurance that \"these are not intended for use in Gaza,\"<\/a> is a choice to turn a blind eye, a choice of complicity.<\/p>\n By maintaining these transfers, Canada is violating both its domestic legislation and its international obligations<\/strong> under the Geneva Conventions and the Arms Trade Treaty.<\/p>\n *Figures updated as of August 12, 2025.<\/p>\n Read our letter addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs<\/a><\/p>\n Canadian arms exports to Israel increased from less than $5 million in 2011 to over $32 million in 2023, representing a $27 million increase<\/strong> in arms over a decade. On March 18, 2024<\/strong>, the House of Commons adopted a non-binding motion<\/strong> to suspend arms exports to Israel. Since this motion, despite a supposed pause on new permits (January 8, 2024), $18.9 million<\/strong> in exports were recorded in 2024.<\/p>\n Despite these statements and our repeated requests, recently released information shows that Canada has not ended its military support to Israel and has even continued to transfer arms.<\/p>\n See Annual Report on the Export of Controlled Goods<\/a><\/p>\n\n
