Fight for Second Intifada victims reopens with $655 million judgment against PA - interview
A federal appeals court has reinstated a $655.5 million judgment against the Palestinian Authority and PLO, more than two decades after American families sued over attacks from the Second Intifada.
Assessment
A federal appeals court has revived a massive financial penalty against the Palestinian Authority and PLO, reopening a long running legal battle over Second Intifada era attacks. The ruling restores a judgment that had been previously overturned, giving American victim families another chance to collect damages. The key question now is whether the PA and PLO will appeal further or face enforcement of the $655 million award.
