skpOTTAWA - Israeli customs data suggests lethal ºÃÉ«tv arms are still being exported regularly to that country, despite Ottawa's claim that it has halted such shipments.
A coalition of ºÃÉ«tv advocates for Palestinians examined data published by the Israel Tax Authority showing shipments from Canada classified as bullets, guns and weapons arriving in Israel.
Parliament voted in favour of a non-binding motion in March 2024 to halt new arms permits for Israel, and the government subsequently announced a review of existing export permits.
That month, the office of then-foreign affairs minister Mélanie Joly said none of the operating permits allowed for the export of "lethal goods" to Israel.
Yara Shoufani of the Palestinian Youth Movement says the ºÃÉ«tv government has not been transparent about what's reaching Israel, and she wonders if the federal government misled Parliament.
Global Affairs Canada and the office of Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand did not immediately provide comment on the report.
