Today, World BEYOND War, Palestinian Youth Movement, and the Arms Embargo Now Campaign have published a groundbreaking report detailing Canada’s role in arming Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. A Parliamentary Press Conference will be held at 11:00am ET today in Ottawa, and livestreamed at CPAC.ca, to expose the report’s damning findings. Despite repeated claims that Canada had stopped sending weapons to Israel, the report’s evidence demonstrates a continuous flow of Canadian military goods directly to Israel. This report proves that Canada’s public statements on arms exports to date formed a strategic pattern of lies to confuse the public and conceal the grim reality of Canada’s role in enabling the slaughter of over 59,000 Palestinians since October 2023. Despite the Canadian government’s calculated campaign of deceiving the public, Canada has continued to actively arm a documented genocide in violation of both domestic laws and international laws under the UN Genocide Conventions and the Arms Trade Treaty.
This comprehensive report, with the first-time public snapshot of Canada’s military support for Israel, unveils a chilling array of direct military support:
The following map shows the shipping routes by air and sea for 47 shipments with detailed commercial shipping records uncovered in this report.
Further findings confirm that weapons have continued flowing to Israel throughout 2024 and 2025, despite official statements asserting restrictions:
The sheer volume of these shipments reveals that the Canadian government’s much-publicized “pause” on new permit approvals in January 2024 did nothing to stop the flow of weapons to Israel because the hundreds of previously approved permits were used, and are still being used, to ship a constant pipeline of Canadian arms to Israel. By continuing these transfers, Canada is violating domestic law and its international commitments.

A FULL, IMMEDIATE, AND PERMANENT TWO WAY ARMS EMBARGO: Canada must instantly cease all arms transfers to Israel, canceling all active export permits, closing the loophole for unregulated transfers via the US, and halting all contracts and planned purchases of military goods from Israel.
Canada’s moral standing and its adherence to international law have been shattered by its active role in facilitating genocide. This report is a stark and final warning. History will remember those who fueled the fires of destruction and those who demanded justice. The deception ends today.
