The families included in the class action base their claim against the P.A. on the fact that it "pays and provides benefits to imprisoned terrorists, as well as to the families of terrorists who were killed or injured while carrying out an act of terrorism."
The relatives of 122 Israelis murdered by Hamas-led terrorists during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel on Sunday filed a claim against the Palestinian Authority, asking that the Jerusalem District Court hold Ramallah responsible for supporting the terror attacks.
The families’ lawsuit, filed by attorneys of the Tel Aviv-based Herzog law firm, demands over a billion shekels (approximately $270 million) in frozen P.A. tax revenues held by the Israeli government.
The claim was submitted on behalf of Israelis “tortured and slaughtered with unimaginable cruelty by terrorists, and on behalf of survivors who were left with permanent disabilities as a result of their severe injuries, during the murderous terror attack that began on Oct. 7, 2023,” it said.
