This is the best summary I could come up with:
A coalition of Canadians and Palestinians is urging Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly to cut off military exports to Israel, warning it may bring a legal challenge if Ottawa fails to act.
The International Court of Justice, in a historic ruling last Friday, ordered Israel to take emergency steps to prevent genocide in Gaza and allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinian territory.
The South African government, which made the application to the ICJ, says the emergency orders by the world court have created a legal obligation on all “third parties” – such as Canada and the United States – to halt any military exports to Israel.
“The finding makes it clear that it is plausible that genocide is taking place against the Palestinian people in Gaza,” South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor told a press conference on Wednesday.
Kelsey Gallagher, researcher at weapons trade monitor Project Ploughshares, based in Waterloo, Ont., said there is no agreed-upon definition of the term “non-lethal equipment” in conventions on arms control to which Canada is a party.
In October 2021, Israel’s ministry of defence declared Al-Haq and five other civil society groups as “terror organizations,” saying they “serve as a cover for the promotion and financing” of activity by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Legal challenge over what?
Selling arms? You mean our weapons being involved in no less than three genocides over the last decade hasn’t been a problem but “this genocide is different”?
Globeandmail trash at it again. “It’s only a problem when we can profit off of it”

I’m not sure I understand. Are you suggesting the globe shouldn’t be reporting on this?
Yes, there is no point in reporting on an empty legal threat
But newspapers do that all the time.
