A Jerusalem court has ordered the Palestinian Authority (PA) to pay millions in damages to Palestinians who were tortured after cooperating with Israel to prevent terrorism. The court characterized the PA's actions as a 'blatant violation of basic human rights.' Concurrently, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear cases regarding whether the PA and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) can be sued in U.S. courts for terrorist attacks against American citizens abroad. This decision follows a 2019 law that raises questions about the jurisdiction of U.S. courts over the PA and PLO, and whether it conflicts with the Fifth Amendment's due process clause. The Supreme Court's review includes appeals from the federal government and families of victims of attacks in Israel, allegedly carried out by terrorists who received payments from the PA or PLO.
