Dutch Court Demands Reassessment of Israel Arms Exports Over Legal Concerns

The Supreme Court of the Netherlands has ordered the government to review its policies for weapons exports to Israel.

The court did not uphold a ban on the export of parts for F-35 fighter jets but stated that the government needed to assess by itself whether there was a risk that the jet parts would be used in violation of international law. It gave the government six weeks to make the review, during which the export of fighter jet parts would still be banned.
