Palestinian authorities ask Supreme Court to halt $656M judgment pending appeal
The PLO and Palestinian Authority say immediate payment would destabilize West Bank services as they appeal reinstated damages for attacks that killed 33 people.
- On Thursday, the Palestinian Authority asked the Supreme Court to pause a $656 million judgment in a long-running lawsuit filed by Americans killed or wounded in attacks in Israel.
- Attacks in Jerusalem during the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more form the basis of the lawsuit, brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
- A federal court in New York initially tossed the verdict, but the Supreme Court revived the case in 2025 and the 2nd Circuit Court reinstated the damages in March.
- The Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority argued that immediate payment would 'destabilize critical government services' in the West Bank and jeopardize regional security.
- Attorneys for the families stated the verdict allows 'justice to be done' after more than two decades of litigation regarding the attacks.
