The U.S. Supreme Court appears inclined to uphold a law passed by Congress in 2019, which aims to facilitate terrorism-related lawsuits against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in U.S. courts. The law, signed by then-President Donald Trump, received bipartisan support, intending to tackle obstacles posed by U.S. court procedures when holding the PLO and PA accountable for terrorist acts.
During deliberations, the Supreme Court is reviewing whether a prior court decision, which ruled the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act as violating constitutional due process rights, should be overturned. This legal development emerges amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
