Sotomayor lets $656 million terror verdict against Palestinian Liberation Organization stand

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to halt a $656 million judgment against the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Palestinian Authority, following a Supreme Court ruling in favor of victims of 2000s Jerusalem attacks. The PLO and Palestinian Authority argued the payment could destabilize West Bank government services, while plaintiffs' attorneys expressed relief over the verdict's reinstatement.
