update this and rewrite it after The Economist style: Danish Court of Appeal rules on legality of Danish arms sales to Israel.

The Danish government was sued in 2024 by a group of human rights organizations who argue that arms sales to Israel will have contributed to possible war crimes in Gaza, the case was dismissed as there was no jurisdiction for such a case in the civil courts.

Between 2014 and 2022, the total value of arms export licences from Denmark to Israel was over $1 million. Amnesty International, Intercultural Cooperation, Oxfam and Al-Haq say that the Danish governments continued exports of arms used by Israel are in violation of international rules.

In February 2024, an appeals court in the Netherlands found that the exports were in violation of both EU and UN rules signed up to by both the Netherlands and Denmark have signed.

The court ordered the Dutch government to stop arms exports to Israel within the F-35 programme.
