Federal Court Reinstates $655.5 Million Judgment Against Palestinian Authority for U.S. Victims of Second Intifada
A federal appeals court has reinstated a $655.5 million judgment against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for their involvement in attacks during the Second Intifada that harmed American citizens. The case, originally decided in 2015, was overturned on jurisdictional grounds but has now been revived following legislative changes and a Supreme Court ruling. The attacks, which included a bombing in Jerusalem, were allegedly carried out by individuals linked to the PA's security and political apparatus. The legal battle, which began in 2004, has involved multiple appeals and legislative interventions to establish U.S. jurisdiction over the PA and PLO.
