Supreme Court has declined to stop a $656 million judgment against the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority. The judgment stems from a lawsuit filed by American victims of Palestinian attacks in Israel. The ruling means the judgment stands, but it does not guarantee payment.
The Palestinian Authority has long maintained that it does not control the groups responsible for the attacks and has refused to pay the judgment. The Supreme Court's decision is the latest development in a long-running legal battle. The judgment was first awarded in 2018, and the Palestinian Authority has consistently refused to pay.
The U.S. government has also taken steps to seize Palestinian assets to satisfy the judgment, but these efforts have been largely unsuccessful. The Palestinian Authority has assets in the U.S. but has not paid the judgment. The Palestinian Authority has not yet responded to the Supreme Court's decision.
