A recent report revealed Canada's continued shipment of military equipment to Israel via US weapons factories, despite Foreign Minister Anita Anand's announcement in August about "freezing all existing permits in 2024 that could have allowed military components to be used in Gaza."
The report titled, "Exposing the U.S. Loophole: How Canadian F-35 Parts and Explosives Reach Israel," stated that the evidence it provided "details hundreds of shipments from Canadian military manufacturers to the U.S. weapons factories that manufacture Israel's key warplanes, bombs, and artillery shells."
"The report also exposes, for the first time, Canada's role as a vital transit corridor for hundreds of shipments of European-made TNT en route to U.S. bomb-makers, and damning evidence of Canadian F-35 components being shipped on to Israel mere days after arriving at U.S. facilities," it said.
According to the data provided, at least "34 shipments of military aircraft components sent by American Lockheed factories to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Air Force Base, and Israeli weapons manufacturers between April 2024 and August 2025 – immediately after receiving hundreds of matching shipments from Canadian manufacturers."
Meanwhile, "360 additional aircraft part shipments from Canadian manufacturers to Lockheed Martin's F-35 assembly facility in Fort Worth, Texas," were sent between September 2023 and August 2025.
It said that "150 shipments of Canadian explosives and flammable materials from General Dynamics facilities in Valleyfield and Repentigny, Quebec, to the U.S. Army Ammunition Plants that manufacture 2000-pound MK-84 bombs, 155mm artillery shells, and 120mm tank rounds for export to Israel.”
The report revealed that at least 433 shipments of TNT manufactured in Poland were sent to Quebec between October 2023 and November 2025, which were then transported to Canada and then to Israel.
It claimed that the TNT sent was "the 2000-pound MK-84 and I-2000 Penetrator bombs that Israel drops on Gaza."
