A district court on Monday will hear a case against the Dutch state launched by human rights organisations which say the export of F35 fighter jet parts to Israel makes the Netherlands complicit in alleged war crimes in Gaza, a The Hague court said, Reuters reports.

The organisations, which include the Dutch branches of Amnesty International and Oxfam, argue that “the Netherlands is contributing to wide scale and serious violations of humanitarian law by Israel in Gaza” by allowing shipments of reserve parts for Israeli fighter jets while the conflict continues.

The Dutch minister of defence told ANP news agency she would not comment on the case ahead of the court proceedings.
