  • The Supreme Court of the Netherlands on Friday ordered the government to review its policies for weapons exports to Israel

THE HAGUE: The Supreme Court of the Netherlands on Friday ordered the government to review its policies for weapons exports to Israel.
The court did not uphold a ban on the export of parts for F35 fighter jets ordered by a lower court last year, but said the government needed to assess by itself whether there was a risk that the jet parts would be used in violation of international law.
It gave the government six weeks to make this review, during which the export of fighter jet parts would still be banned.
