Canada’s weapon shipment for Israel continues despite the official freeze, showing data; Records show that gunpowder and parts sent

Despite repeated claims by the Canadian government that it stopped arms exports to Israel in January 2024, newly opened Israeli import records and global shipping documents suggest that otherwise the ongoing shipment of Canadian military goods was revealed, including ammunition and arms parts.A group of researchers from four non -governmental organizations, the world beyond the war, the Palestinian youth movement, canadians for justice and peace in the Middle East, and independent Jewish Voices, exposed the authority of the authority, which shows the continuous imports of Canadian goods as military arms parts and olfactions.At a press conference in Ottawa, Yara Shuffni of Palestinian Youth Movement said, “This report is the correct limit of Canadian’s ongoing physical support for Israel, without a doubt, between this genocide.” “It shows that despite misleading government statements, the flow of military cargo from Canada to Israel has become seamless.”Activists also obtained shipping records describing Canadian ammunition and military equipment sent to Israel. CBC News reported that it reviewed both tax and shipping documents. The Israeli Tax Authority’s website listed 2025 imports from Canada of “Bullets” and other items say Ottawa says that it is not, and cannot be exported.Some of the data track the recent shipment directly to the door of one of the largest weapons of Canada.While Canada does not sell arms directly to Israel, it controls exports between Canadian firms and foreign buyers through a permit issued per contract, it is often valid for years. Most Israeli-related permits refer to companies in defense supply chains, although the company’s names have not been publicly disclosed.

“Malignant” Loofol

Canada mainly exports components such as printed circuit boards and materials for monitoring systems. The latest report of Parliament has no active permit for weapons or ammunition.The Trudeau government initially announced a stop for all military shipments for Israel, later narrowed for “deadly” equipment. Global Affairs Canada (GAC) now states that freeze applies only to objects that can be used in Gaza.“Canada has not approved any new permits for Israel, which could be used in the current struggle in Gaza since January 8, 2024,” said GAC spokesman Charlotte McLeod. He said that the department suspended the “about 30 export permits” for goods that could be used in that struggle.However, most of the existing permits remain valid. Only two new permits were issued in 2024, yet Israel was ranked as Canada’s fourth largest military recipient that year, using 164 permits.“There is a lack of especially transparency on whether permits are still active, who are not active and the argument behind all of them is,” Shafni said.In 2024, $ 2.25 million in sales fell under the export category “bombs, torpedo, rocket, missile, other explosive equipment and fees and related equipment and accessories.”

Weapons are still flowing? 175,000 sages sent in 2025

The entry of April 2025 suggests that Canada exported 175,000 units to Israel under a customs code for bombs, grenades, mines, cartridges and similar monks. In June 2025, another 15,000 units of “Military weapons parts and goods” were recorded.The Canadian government has not explained the discrepancy between its policy and the export exports. CBC News asked GAC how it ensures that Canadian military goods are not used in Gaza, but no response.“Due to commercial privacy, Global Affairs Canada does not comment on the nuances of personal export permit applications or transactions,” said McLeod, cited by CBC News.Three notable shipments of the “cartridge” left the Doorval Airport of Montreal for Tel Aviv in September 2024, May 2025 and July 2025. Classified as “dangerous goods”, all passed through JFK Airport in New York. The most recent shipment, on July 17, originated from Postal Code J5Z 2P4 to Depentigny, Quebec – General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems ‘Cartridge’ Site.In August 2024, the US Department of Defense announced a shipment of 50,000 120 mm high-explosive mortar cartridge for Israel, which was named as a major contractor naming General Dynamics OT in Quebec.Then and foreign minister Melani Jolie replied, “We will not have any form of weapons or parts of arms will be sent over the period. How they are being sent and where they are being sent is irrelevant.”
