Supreme Court top advisor backs F-35 parts ban for Israel

Dutch News  

The Dutch ban on exporting spare parts for F35 fighter jets to Israel can remain in place, the Supreme Court’s most senior legal advisor said on Friday. Advocate general Paul Vlas said that the appeal court was “justified in concluding that there is a clear risk that Israel’s use of F-35 fighter jets could lead to serious violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza”. “Based on various international agreements to which the Netherlands is a party, the export of military goods must be prohibited if such a clear risk exists,” the advocate general said. “It is undeniable that there is a clear risk that the exported F-35 parts are used in serious violations of international humanitarian law,” judge Bas Boele said at the time.
