The US Supreme Court declined to halt enforcement of a $655.5 million terrorism judgment against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, allowing the payout to proceed.
The decision follows a 2025 Supreme Court ruling that upheld a 2019 law permitting American victims of Palestinian terrorism to file civil lawsuits in US courts.
The case has drawn reactions from various groups, with some welcoming the decision as affirming victims' rights and others criticizing it as collective punishment.
The ruling is part of a broader legal context involving Palestinian organizations and terrorism-related claims.
