'Collective punishment': US Supreme Court greenlights $656m judgement against Palestinian officials
Middle East Eye • 8/4/2026 – 8/5/2026
Summary
The US Supreme Court has allowed a $656 million judgment against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) to proceed, rejecting their request to delay the ruling due to financial constraints. This decision, announced by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, follows a lawsuit initiated 22 years ago by US victims of attacks in Israel during the Second Intifada, enabling immediate collection of the funds.
