The Trudeau government will cease future arms exports to Israel even though a motion passed Monday by the House of Commons that called for such action is non-binding, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

“It is a real thing,” said Joly, speaking to the Star briefly on the morning after a majority of Liberal MPs and cabinet voted in support of a modified NDP resolution that some Jewish groups say undermines Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas.

The controversial multi-pronged resolution sought to toughen Canada’s stance on the Middle East conflict.

    To state the obvious here, Hebrew and Arab are closely related languages. Phonetically a lot of things will sound similar between Arab and Hebrew, to speakers of indoeuropean languages.
