The court did not uphold a lower court's ban on the export of F-35 spare parts last year, but said the government must assess the situation itself to determine whether there is a possibility that these aircraft spare parts could be used in violation of international law.
The court added: "If the competent minister concludes that there is a clear possibility that the exported goods will be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law, he may subsequently refuse to authorize the use of that license."
In February 2024, the Court of Cassation in The Hague ordered the government to halt exports of spare parts for the fighter jets, citing the clear possibility that Israel would use the aircraft to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving 66,225 martyrs and 168,938 wounded, most of them children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 455 Palestinians, including 151 children.
