Days after its release, Ottawa calls report on lethal exports to Israel ‘flawed’
ONTARIO, CANADA, AUG 1 – A new report details at least 391 Canadian military shipments to Israel since late 2023, including over 420,000 bullets and F-35 jet parts, contradicting government claims of an arms export pause.
- On Aug. 1, 2025, Ottawa dismissed a report first published by The Canadian Press, calling it 'flawed' and denying ongoing lethal exports to Israel, despite evidence to the contrary.
- The government reviewed existing export permits after Parliament voted in March 2024 to halt new arms permits, with Canada stopping issuing permits in January 2024.
- Canadian officials fast-tracked over 420,000 bullets and F-35 components since late 2023, despite Ottawa's claims of ending weapons exports, with Israeli customs calling the bullets `munitions of war and parts thereof`.
- Only 30 permits have been suspended while Israeli import records show entries as recent as June 2025 for 15,000 units, and exports continue, despite threats of `severe legal sanctions`.
- Political pressure is mounting with both opposition parties and public opinion, as with 55% of Canadians supporting an arms suspension, Pro-Palestinian groups and the NDP demand a full embargo.
