Palestinian authorities are urgently asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a $656 million judgment against them, awarded to American victims of deadly 2000s attacks in Israel. After a lower court reinstated the verdict — following a 20-year legal battle and a 2025 Supreme Court ruling — the Palestinian Authority warns paying now would cripple West Bank services, endanger civilians, and destabilize the region. The case began when families of 33 killed and hundreds wounded in Jerusalem attacks sued under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law enabling victims of international terror to seek justice in U.S. courts. Though courts initially blocked the suit, shifting laws and rulings eventually revived it — and in March, the Second Circuit agreed to enforce the judgment, bringing relief to grieving families who finally see justice within reach.
