THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch court has rejected a claim from human rights organizations that the Netherlands is dodging a court order to stop sending F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel which could use them in Gaza. The Hague District Court ruled Friday that the groups had not shown any evidence that the Dutch government was ignoring the earlier ruling. Earlier this year, an appeals court told the Dutch government to halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. It cited a clear risk of violations of international law if they are used in strikes on Gaza. The government appealed to the Supreme Court but halted exports in the meantime.
