Canada cuts off weapons
Carried by support from the New Democratic Party, the ruling Liberal Party, the Green Party and the Bloc Quebecois, Canada's Parliament voted 204-117 to temporarily suspend arms exports to Israel.
Opposition parties and civil society actors have pressured Trudeau's government to take a clearer position. This likely contributed to the arms export stop. The resolution is nonbinding, but the government has indicated it will implement it.
This makes Canada one of a series of countries to halt arms exports to Israel, including Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain.
The EU collectively called for an "an immediate humanitarian pause leading to a sustainable ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and the provision of humanitarian assistance."
In the first collective EU statement issued in five months of internal divisions, the member states also called on Israel not to launch its Rafah ground operation.
