And will it have an [Applause] Impact so there was an audible G danana in the court as this verdict came through this court saying that the Netherlands needs to rec consider its export license for those F-35 CS to Israel because there is a serious risk of violations to International humanitarian law and thus uh this is how
The minister should Rule now this is centered around the small town of VRE in braband here which is where the F35 Regional Warehouse is which is where all European partners of the F35 program and Israel are supplied with their F-35 spare parts now the minister had argued
That she had re looked at this General export license which was given in 2016 after October 7th but in light of Israel’s right to self-defense and political considerations such as the um Dutch relationship with the United States and Israel had decided to continue exporting those parts the

the dutch government must ask its self who created all this havoc – Hamas no doubt
The Israeli's aren't stupid, I bet they made sure they had a ten year supply built up in case something like this happened (not that it would matter anyway as the US will still give them anything they want).
Outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte has exerted pressure to push through these exports in order to appease America and Israel and thus qualify for the position of Secretary General of NATO
Democracy and human rights prevail. With thanks to Oxfam Novib.
Pretty sure Israel don't need Dutch garbage.
Expel The Netherlands from the F35 logistics program.
now let's stop giving them F35s altogether… remember when they sold Iran extended range fuel tanks for the f14s reagan sold Iran for the hostage deal bush made for the election? israel railed that the us best not provide those fuel tanks…. that israel manufactured. then THEY sold them to Iran. they are feckless and have always been so.
USS LIBERTY.
If you get invaded don't expect the US to keep bailing you out.
Dutch judges stood their ground. The government though absolutely embarrassed Netherlands.
Shame on you Hollanders.Greetings from Flanders.
Israel gov't will attempt any scheme to support its genocide of Palestinians.
Why are Palestinians labeled terrorists and Israelis are not? HINT: "Follow the Money."
Correct ruling by Netherlands court
No worries Israel 🇺🇸
Did you also see the photo moment of the lawyer behind the reporter? We all watched him dress up for that moment perfectly captured by France24!😂

Military equipment is designed to kill people and break things. Does anyone think the F35 was designed to delivery Twinkies? ICJ is just a bunch of unelected and unaccountable communists, trying to control people and governments for their own purposes.
I don't think they will obey the court order
Supply chain independence is crucial for any country that takes its defence seriously.
About time common sense is kicking in..
They can export through the third state. Czech Rep., Poland… Doesn't matter…
Thank you Dutch court for your support for palistian
EXCEPT THAT… F-35 wings and a part of the avionics are made in…. Israel !!! They've just shot themselves in the foot as Israel will block parts exports to the Netherlands too!!!
GOOD
Will be overturned. Just a side show. 🥱
Good first step. Thank you Netherlands!
At least some countries have honest people in high positions.
YES!!!!
That's only a warehouse, the United States holds all the pattents for the F-35, the only thing that will happen is that the warehouse will be closed and the parts shipped to England to be redistributed to Israel
Netherlands about to lose there regional export facility
OH my god thats so antsemetic of the dutch!!! /S
Do you guys really think they will follow this ruling?
From experience, we should not underestimated the resolve from west to break international law to support Israel.
Thank you Dutch judges – you are honourable. The world supports you.
Same rules can be applied on Netherlands if it has to face aggression from russia.
amusing a non-nuclear power trying to cause disruption for a state that mostly still uses F15s and F16s. what's the point?
why is everything good comes late ???
Par for the course for the same people who ratted out Anne Frank and her family to the SS.
It's a little afford but highly significant
Similar lawsuits must be taken up in the United States which is the prime source of military aid to Israel.
ha ha please try – this has always been the case in days passed. The God of Israel is not bound by petty human regulations. Israel will succeed by the Grace of God. The F35 is hardly the best airplane and there are plenty other and superior models available. Praise be to Jesus Christ our Lord! France is already facing an invasion of sorts. Curse Israel and you only curse yourself.
