Canada’s Global Affairs department has launched an investigation into allegations that Canadian-made military components reached Israel through U.S. arms factories despite an official export suspension. The probe follows reports by Middle East Monitor claiming hundreds of shipments from Canadian manufacturers were routed to U.S. facilities and later used in Israeli fighter jets, bombs, and artillery. The report also alleged that Canada served as a transit corridor for European-made TNT sent to Israel. Global Affairs spokesperson Samantha Lafleur stated that no new export permits for Israel have been approved since January 8, 2024, and that the department is reviewing the published information. Human rights groups, including World BEYOND War, have long warned about such indirect arms transfers, while opposition MP Jenny Kwan criticized the government’s denial of knowledge, calling it unacceptable. The investigation comes amid heightened scrutiny of Western arms flows to Israel during the Gaza conflict.
