Framing Analysis
The Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority petitioned the Supreme Court to halt enforcement of a $656 million judgment awarded to American victims of early-2000s attacks in Jerusalem. The case, brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act, was revived by the Supreme Court in 2025 and reinstated by the 2nd Circuit in March after more than two decades of litigation. Petitioners argue immediate payment would disrupt West Bank government services and regional security.
