Palestine asks Supreme Court to freeze $655 million judgment for terror victims
Already facing an acute financial crisis, Palestinian officials asked the Supreme Court to halt monetary damages for families of terror victims that could leave essential services unfunded.
WASHINGTON (CN) — Palestinian officials asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to put a $655.5 million judgment for U.S. families of terror attack victims on hold, warning that enforcement could destabilize government services and jeopardize regional security.
The Palestine Liberation Organization says a lower court didn’t have jurisdiction to resurrect the judgment, which was originally thrown out in 2016. And if allowed to be enforced, officials said the Palestinian Authority could collapse, leaving Palestine without a government at a time of internal and regional crisis.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Palestinian authorities asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to halt for now a $656 million judgment in a long-running lawsuit filed by Americans killed or wounded in attacks in Israel.
The emergency appeal comes after a lower court reinstated the damages in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that followed more than two decades of litigation.
The Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority said in court documents that paying the hefty judgment now would “destabilize critical government services Petitioners provide in the West Bank, injure innocent citizens, and jeopardize regional security.”
