More than half of Canadians support maintaining a ban on weapons sales to Israel, with nearly half backing its expansion to include a full two- way weapons embargo, according to a recent poll, Anadolu Agency reports.
The Mainstreet Research survey, commissioned by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), found that 55% of respondents support Canada’s prohibition of weapons exports to Israel due to the situation in the Gaza Strip.
Additionally, 49% believe Canada should go further by restricting the sale of weapons parts, military services and training to Israel.
The poll revealed strong public support for the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
