U.S. Court Denies Halting $655M Compensation to Palestinians
A US Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, rejected the Palestinian efforts to delay paying compensation of $655.5 million, a judgment issued by an American court against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization due to their responsibility for attacks that resulted in the killing and injury of Americans between 2002 and 2004 in Israel. The Palestinian Authority had requested a stay of execution during the appeals process, but the court upheld the enforcement of the judgment, noting that American laws allow for the prosecution of Palestinians for these acts, despite the Authority's deteriorating financial situation and its objections to the potential economic and social impact. The reasons for the decision were not disclosed, and the implementation now hinges on the possible withholding of Palestinian tax revenues collected by Israel.
