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.

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