"Canada Halts Arms Sales to Israel Amidst Controversy and Criticism"
TL;DR
Canada announced an arms embargo on Israel while continuing to use Israeli weapons systems, including missiles, radars, and unmanned vehicles, worth more than a billion dollars over the last decade. This includes the purchase of advanced anti-tank missiles, armored personnel carriers, and radars for air and naval threats. Despite the embargo, Canada has a history of military cooperation with Israel, including leasing UAVs and purchasing command and control systems.
