According to Al Jazeera, Canada will stop all arms shipments to Israel, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said, a day after the House of Commons passed a non-binding motion to stop arms sales.
“It’s a real thing,” Joly told the Toronto Star newspaper.
Canada joins the Netherlands, Japan, Spain and Belgium in suspending arms sales following Israel's brutal military offensive in Gaza. Many other countries have declared that they will no longer purchase Israeli weapons.
