The Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization escaped a $656 million damage award as the U.S. Supreme Court turned away an appeal by American victims of six bombing and shooting attacks in Israel.
The justices, without comment, left intact a lower court decision that said the Palestinian entities didn’t have enough of a connection to the U.S. to let them be sued under a federal anti-terrorism law.
