Radio-Canada has learned that Ottawa is voluntarily leaving pending a request to export armored vehicles manufactured in Canada, intended for the Israeli government. At the same time, the Trudeau government is under intense pressure to stop exporting military equipment to Israel.
Shortly after the deadly October 7 attack by Hamas, a highly sensitive request made its way to the minister's office of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly.
The Israeli government wants to import around thirty light armored vehicles from the Ontario manufacturer Roshel.
For the transaction to go through, Ottawa must grant the necessary export licenses. The request has remained pending since. According to our information obtained from two sources, the Canadian government is deliberately letting the processing of the file drag on given the extremely delicate political context surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
If the federal government authorizes this transaction, it risks attracting the wrath of pro-Palestinian groups and being accused of complicity in the operations of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, while civilian deaths accumulate among Palestinians. .
