Israeli military says more than 1,500 Canadians were serving in its ranks last year
Among 1,500 Canadians serving in the Israel Defense Forces, 1,185 hold dual Canadian-Israeli citizenship, with others holding multiple nationalities, per Israeli military data.
- As of March 2025, the Israel Defense Forces reported more than 1,500 people with Canadian citizenship were serving, while a Hebrew document lists 1,185 dual Canadian-Israeli citizens.
- The RCMP's structural investigation, initiated in early 2024, reveals they are collecting conflict-related information, following a Hatzlacha freedom-of-information request that prompted the release of citizenship-specific service numbers.
- Breakdown data reveal 339 Canadians with at least three nationalities and the Knesset library reported 56 'lone soldiers' serving as of August 2024, though the records omit Gaza service details.
- The RCMP says its probe aims to collect evidence for future prosecutions, but it still has not launched the online reporting portal or rescheduled the canceled town hall with B'nai Brith.
- The timing of the disclosure matters because Senate motions in Ottawa reflect ongoing legal debates amid the ICJ's probe and an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
