Court Reinstates $656M Judgment in Terror Attack Case

0:00A federal appeals court just reinstated a $656 million judgment against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization for attacks on Americans in Israel that killed or wounded victims. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled last June in favor of a 2019 law from Congress, letting these lawsuits move forward in U.S. courts. Ten years back, that same appeals court had thrown out the original verdict, saying U.S. judges couldn't touch cases about overseas attacks, not aimed, at America. Lawyers for the families are breathing easy. No new trial needed after 22 years of fighting under the 1992 Anti-Terrorism Act, where they claim Palestinian agents were involved or stoke the violence. The Palestinians still say American courts have no business here, and while emails went out for their side, this ruling keeps justice rolling for. Those long-waiting families.
