A United States court has dismissed an appeal worth $900 million that had been submitted against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) at US courts, said the Palestinian Ministry of Finance today.
The Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed Schlotzsky’s lawsuit filed against Palestine in 2002 on charges of “supporting terrorism”, the ministry stated.
It added that the court found that the recent Congress decision that subjects the PLO and the PA to the jurisdiction of the US law was unconstitutional.
“The US court ruling was issued despite repeated attempts by the plaintiffs and right-wing organizations supporting them to file cases against Palestine for financial compensation worth millions of dollars,” said the Ministry.
