Dutch Court Orders Government to Review Arms Exports to Tel Aviv
The Dutch Supreme Court issued a ruling today requiring the government to reconsider its weapons export policies to Israel amid growing concerns over potential violations of international law linked to these parts, according to webangah News Agency citing Mehr News Agency and Al Mayadeen.
The court clarified that it does not uphold last year’s lower court ruling that permanently banned exports of F-35 fighter jet components. However, it emphasized that the government must conduct a thorough assessment of the current situation to determine possible legal risks associated with these exports.
Under this ruling, the government has six weeks to complete its review. Simultaneously occurring, exports of fighter aircraft parts will remain prohibited during this period.
In a related report published on September 29, French newspaper Le Monde highlighted an unprecedented boycott against scientific research and academic collaborations in the occupied territories.
The newspaper noted that nearly 1,000 scientists signed a petition urging CERN-the world’s largest particle physics laboratory-to reassess its cooperation with the Israeli cabinet following Israel’s military destruction in gaza.
