Dutch rejects the claim of exporting F-35 parts to the Zionist regime

TEHRAN (defapress) - The Hague District Court ruled that Oxfam Novib, Pax Nederland, and The Rights Forum had not shown any evidence that the Dutch government was ignoring the earlier ruling.

In February, an appeals court told the Dutch government to halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, citing a clear risk of violations of international law if they are used in strikes on Gaza. The Dutch government appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court but said it was abiding by the order in the meantime by halting direct exports to Israel.

The aid groups went back to court last month, arguing the Netherlands was evading the ban by sending the parts to the United States, which was then sending them on to Israel. They demanded a fine for the alleged breach.

The organizations sought an urgent court order from The Hague District Court to impose a daily fine of €50,000 on the state for disregarding the court's verdict.

The organizations said that they disagreed with the decision and were considering further legal action. “It is unacceptable that the Netherlands remains knowingly complicit in violations of the laws of war by Israel in Gaza,” they said in a joint statement.

International support for Gaza rose after Israel's brutality increased in the Gaza Strip and murdered 38,345 innocent people since Oct. 7. In that case, the human rights NGOs in the Netherlands claim that the Netherlands government is exporting F-35 parts to the Zionist regime despite the judgment of the Hague Court.
