The Dutch Supreme Court has overturned a lower court’s ruling that banned sales of F-35 fighter jet parts from the Netherlands to Israel, ordering the government to reassess the licenses needed for sending the components.

The government should look at “whether granting the license poses a clear risk of serious violations of international humanitarian law,” according to the court, which gave the government six weeks to complete the review.
