Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly has said that Ottawa has suspended about 30 existing permits for arms sales to Israel, local media reported.
According to the reports, Joly said on Tuesday that Ottawa’s policy is that Canadian-made arms and components cannot be used in the Gaza Strip, regardless of how they are sent to Israel.
Ottawa stopped approving new arms permits for Israel in January though permits approved in the prior months were still active, Xinhua news agency reported, citing local media.
