The victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks notched a victory recently at the Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment. The Supreme Court initially rejected the plaintiffs’ appeal in 2018. The plaintiffs then sued under the revised Anti-Terrorism Act, a 1992 law updated in 2019 to allow the victims of the Palestinian attacks to seek damages in federal courts. The Supreme Court upheld the 2019 revisions in a 2025 ruling, affirming the victims’ right to sue and allowing the case to proceed.
