The Canadian government has indefinitely suspended arms exports to Israel, according to the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, APA reports citing CNN.

“Canada has one of the most rigorous export permit regimes in the world,” a statement from the office reads. “There are no open permits for exports of lethal goods to Israel.”

“The export permits approved between October 7th and January 8th have been shared with the parliamentary committee studying this matter. Since January 8th, the government has not approved new arms export permits to Israel and this will continue until we can ensure full compliance with our export regime,” the statement continued.

Export permits that were approved before January 8 are still in effect, according to the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
