Legal Battle: Dutch Lawyers Fight to Halt Export of F-35 Fighter Jet Parts to Israel

Human rights lawyers in the Netherlands have filed a civil case seeking to halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, alleging that the Netherlands is complicit in possible war crimes committed by Israel in its conflict with Hamas. The lawyers argue that the delivery of these parts could contribute to serious breaches of international law. The Dutch government, however, argues that Israel has the right to self-defense and that there is no clear risk of serious breaches at the moment. A ruling is expected within two weeks.
