The UK High Court has dismissed a legal challenge by rights groups against the export of UK-made F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, ruling that such decisions are political and fall under government authority, despite concerns over potential use in violations of international law in Gaza. The case has influenced some suspension of arms licenses and sparked ongoing debate about moral and legal responsibilities.
A Dutch appeals court has ordered the government to halt the delivery of F-35 fighter aircraft parts to Israel, siding with human rights groups who argue that the parts are being used to violate international law in Gaza. The court stated that there is a clear risk the exported F-35 parts could be used in serious violations of international humanitarian law. The Dutch government has seven days to comply with the order, but it could launch an appeal at the Supreme Court. This decision comes after a lower court ruled that the export of F-35 parts to Israel was primarily a political decision and that judges should not intervene, despite acknowledging the likelihood of F-35s contributing to violations of the laws of war.
