Court orders Netherlands to stop F-35 parts delivery to Israel
The Appeals Court in The Hague sided with a group of human rights organisations that argued the parts contributed to violations of law by Israel in its war with Hamas.
"The court therefore orders the State to put an end to the further export of F-35 parts to Israel within 7 days," said the ruling.
"There is a clear risk that serious violations of humanitarian law of war are committed in the Gaza Strip with Israel's F-35 fighter planes," added the judge.
The US-owned F-35 parts are stored at a warehouse in the Netherlands and then shipped to several partners, including Israel, via existing export agreements.
