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.

Under various international regulations to which the Netherlands is a party, exports of military goods must be banned if such a clear risk exists.
