(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 20 – In an interview with the Toronto Star, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said that her country’s government will implement a non-binding resolution approved by the House of Commons calling for an end to “further authorizations and arms transfers to Israel to ensure compliance with Canada’s arms export regime and increase efforts to stop illicit trade, including to Hamas.” “It is regrettable that the Canadian government is taking a step that undermines Israel’s right to self-defense against Hamas terrorists,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz commented on her X profile. “History will judge Canada’s current action harshly,” he added, stressing that “Israel will continue to fight until Hamas is destroyed and all hostages are brought home.” “The Canadian parliament voted to stop the sale of weapons to Israel: they are absolutely right to do so”, commented US Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders on the same social platform. “Given the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, the United States should not provide another penny to Netanyahu’s war machine,” he added.
