The Supreme Court said an export suspension remains in place while the government reassesses the license. In its ruling, the Supreme Court said an appeals court in The Hague overstepped its authority when it banned the transfer of F-35 parts to Israel in February 2024, citing concerns they could be used in breaches of international law. The government appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that foreign policy was a matter for the government, not courts. The Netherlands is home to one of three regional warehouses for U.S.-owned F-35 parts. Last year, the U.K. government suspended exports of some weapons to Israel because they could be used to break international law.
