Canada's foreign minister: We will stop supplying arms to Israel

Canada's foreign minister, Melanie Jolly, said today (Tuesday) that her country will stop supplying arms to Israel. This, after yesterday the Canadian House of Representatives approved a bill on the subject. Jolie clarified that although the proposal does not bind Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, they intend to implement it. "This is the real thing," she told the Canadian website "The Star".
Israel's most important arms supplier is the United States, and Canada supplies Israel with weapons in much lower volumes, which in 2022 amounted to $22 million. However, the statement marks the change in global public opinion regarding Israel and highlights the growing criticism of Israel's actions in the Strip Gaza and the severe humanitarian crisis So far, almost 32,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to the Gazan authorities, and experts have determined that the most severe famine is expected to materialize in the north of the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks.
Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, said in response that "it is unfortunate that the Canadian government is taking a step that undermines Israel's right to self-defense against the Hamas murderers who have committed terrible crimes against humanity and against innocent Israeli citizens, including the elderly, women and children. History will severely judge the Canadian government's current move." Throughout the war, Israel attacked other senior figures in the international community who criticized Israel, including UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
