Morality aside this might be a death sentence to both the ongoing F-35 deployment and European efforts to deliver F-16s to Ukraine.

Both the Netherlands and Israel supplies critical components to the F-35 and Israel will most likely stop delivering its share until the Netherlands starts delivering their share.

The only reason so many European countries have been able to allocate F-16s for Ukraine is because F-35 series production was finally kicking off but this puts a stop to it.
