[IsraelTimes] A Dutch court rejects a request by a group of human rightsWhen they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
and humanitarian organizations to order a halt to the transfer to Israel of parts for F-35 fighter jets.
The organizations went to court Dec. 4 arguing that delivery of parts for F-35 jets makes the Netherlands complicit in possible war crimes committed by Israel in its war with Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",.... The parts are stored in a warehouse in the Dutch town of Woensdrecht.
In a written statement, the Hague District Court says the judge who heard the civil case concluded that the government of the Netherlands "weighed the relevant interests" before agreeing to the delivery of parts.
Lawyer Liesbeth Zegveld told the court that the Dutch government decided to continue transferring F-35 parts to Israel even after the deadly October 7 attacks by Hamas triggered the Israel-Hamas war.
"The warning that the fighter jets can contribute to serious breaches of the laws of war does not, for the state, outweigh its economic interests and diplomatic reputation," Zegveld said.
Government lawyer Reimer Veldhuis told the judge hearing the civil case that a ban on transfers from the Netherlands would effectively be meaningless as "the United States would deliver these parts to Israel from another place."
