About time.
Israel's foreign minister, predictably, came out already slamming Canada's decision saying, 'History will judge Canada's current action harshly.'

Canada is halting its arms shipments to Israel, a Canadian government source told AFP Tuesday.
The move comes as Ottawa has only exported "non-lethal" shipments such as communications equipment to Israel since the deadly October 7 attacks by Hamas against Israel triggered a war in the Gaza Strip.
No exports have taken place since January, the source added.
Israel has historically been a top receiver of Canadian arms exports, with CAN$21 million worth of military materiel exported to Israel in 2022, according to Radio Canada, following CAN$26 million in shipments in 2021.
That places Israel among the top 10 recipients of Canadian arms exports.
