So Canada will impose restrictions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements. But it will also continue to engage in trade and military cooperation with the Israeli government as it financially and militarily supports the expansion of those very settlements?

Israeli legal exceptionalism produces remarkable contradictions in Canadian foreign policy. Canada fulfills its international legal obligations when it is politically advantageous to do so. But when the Israeli military is at the centre of the issue, Canada refuses to uphold the rule of law. Article 6(3) of the Arms Trade Treaty requires Canada to not authorize conventional arms transfers to a receiving party if at the time of the authorization Canada is aware that "the arms or items would be used in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, attacks directed against civilian objects or civilians protected as such, or other war crimes as defined by international agreements to which it is a Party." Canada imposes a comprehensive sanctions regime on Russia, with a two-way arms embargo covering every sector of the arms trade being one of its central features. This prohibits persons in Canada and Canadians abroad from exporting arms and related material to Russia. It also prohibits the provision of any services to Russia which would bolster Russia’s military capacity. Yet despite the Gaza genocide, countless atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli armed forces, and the ICC investigation into Israel's international crimes, no such sanctions are applied to Israeli arms manufacturers or other individuals or entities involved in the arms trade. In fact, Canadian companies continue to supply parts to Elbit Systems - Israel's largest arms manufacturer.
