Dutch court rejects demands to prohibit export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel

A Dutch court rejected demands today, Friday, from human rights advocacy groups to prevent the government from exporting spare parts for F-35 fighter jet to Israel.  

These groups argued that the shipment allows for the commission of war crimes in the besieged Gaza Strip. 

Judges in a partial court in The Hague stated that they should leave a significant degree of freedom to the Dutch government when it comes to assessing political matters related to arms exports.
