The government of Canada is adamant — with certain, shifting caveats — that it has not allowed arms shipments to Israel since January 2024, and yet Israeli import data and publicly available shipping records appear to contradict that claim.
The data was uncovered by a group of researchers from four NGOs: World Beyond War, the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, and Independent Jewish Voices.
They found entries in the database of the Israel Tax Authority that show Canadian goods continuing to enter Israel, described by the Israeli government as military weapon parts and ammunition.
"What's clear about the findings is that there has been an uninterrupted flow of weapons and military cargo from Canada to Israel," said Yara Shoufani of the Palestinian Youth Movement.
The activists were also able to gather publicly available commercial shipping documents that, like the tax records, describe ammunition being moved from Canada to Israel, and a variety of other military equipment from companies across the country.
