"Netherlands Ordered to Halt Fighter Jet Parts Delivery to Israel by Court"

A Dutch court has ordered the government to halt the delivery of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, citing a clear risk of the parts being used in serious violations of international humanitarian law. Human rights organizations had appealed against the government's decision to supply the parts, accusing it of complicity in alleged war crimes committed by Israel during its war in Gaza. The court's decision comes after a lower court had dismissed the case, stating that the government has freedom in deciding on arms exports. Israel has denied allegations of war crimes, but the International Court of Justice has called on it to guard against activities in Gaza that could constitute genocide.
