Dutch Supreme Court just cleared export ban on F-35 parts, ruling the Appeals Court overstepped. Top court final say in civil, criminal, tax cases.
The Dutch Supreme Court has overturned a court order that temporarily halted the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. The court ruled that the government, not the courts, must decide on foreign policy issues, giving the government six weeks to reassess export licenses amid ongoing Gaza conflict. The ruling emphasizes the primacy of government authority over judicial intervention in foreign policy decisions.
