Hague court rejects bid to ban transfer to Israel of F-35 fighter jet parts from Dutch warehouse
Friday, 15 December 2023 A Dutch court rejects the request by human rights and humanitarian organizations to halt the transfer of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. The court states that the Dutch government considered the relevant interests before agreeing to the delivery.
