HUMAN rights groups returned to a Dutch court today seeking stricter enforcement of a court order to halt exports of F-35 fighter jet parts used against Gaza — saying they likely still wind up in Israel via the United States.
An appeals court ordered the Dutch government in February to halt export of the components to Israel, citing a clear risk of violations of international law if they are used in strikes on Gaza.
The government has appealed that ruling, but says it is abiding by the order pending the outcome by halting direct exports.
