The Hague Court of Appeal’s ruling that the State of the Netherlands (hereinafter the “State”) must cease exports of F-35 parts to Israel can be upheld. That is the recommendation given by Advocate General Vlas to the Supreme Court in the opinion he delivered today. According to the Advocate General, the Court of Appeal was justified in finding that there is a clear risk that Israel’s F-35 fighter jets are being used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip. Under various international regulations to which the Netherlands is a party, exports of military goods must be banned if such a clear risk exists.
