Episode Details

The Supreme Court, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, has rejected a last-ditch effort by Palestinian authorities to halt a $656 million judgment against them — a ruling stemming from deadly 2001 attacks in Jerusalem that killed 33 and injured hundreds. After years of legal battles, including a federal court tossing the original verdict and Congress later modifying the law, the high court revived the case in 2025, and an appeals court reinstated it in March — a major win for victims’ families. Now, despite Palestinian officials warning the payment could cripple West Bank services, the judgment stands firm, marking a pivotal moment in this long-fought legal saga.
