Supreme Court To Have Final Word on Whether American Victims of Palestinian ‘Pay-For-Slay’ Terror Can Sue
It’s the culmination of a years-long legal battle over the jurisdiction of American courts in cases involving the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority.
The Supreme Court will, on April 1, consider whether American victims of Palestinian terror attacks should be allowed to sue the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority for damages related to the organizations’ “pay for slay” program that rewards those who carry out attacks in Israel.
The cases, one brought by a group of victims and family members, Fuld v. Palestine Liberation Organization, and the other, from the Justice Department, U.S. v. Palestine Liberation Organization, will be heard jointly by the court. The lawsuits follow a years-long legal battle between Congress and the courts over whether the PLO and the PA can be held accountable for providing a monetary incentive for terror attacks.
