The Hague: A Dutch court has upheld an appeal by human rights organisations, ruling that the Netherlands must stop delivering parts for F-35 fighter jets used by Israel in the Gaza Strip. The court orders the state to cease all actual export and transit of F-35 parts with final destination Israel within seven days. The US-owned F-35 parts are stored at a warehouse in the Netherlands and then shipped to several partners, including Israel. The rights groups argue that supplying the parts contributes to serious violations of humanitarian law in Gaza. PAX Netherlands, one of the rights groups involved in the appeal, expressed confidence in a positive ruling based on a previous ruling by the International Court of Justice.
