巴勒斯坦解放组织和巴勒斯坦权力机构已向美国最高法院请求暂停执行一项6.56亿美元的赔偿判决，以便对该判决进行上诉。[1]这笔赔偿源自美国受害者就2000年代初耶路撒冷恐怖袭击事件提起的诉讼，那次恐怖袭击造成33人死亡、数百人受伤。[1]
巴方在诉讼中主张，支付这笔款项将破坏西岸关键政府服务、伤害无辜公民，并危害地区安全。[1]这些诉讼依据《反恐怖主义法》提起，已延续超过20年。[1]美国最高法院在2025年同意恢复这些诉讼，第二巡回上诉法院也在2025年3月同意恢复该判决。[1]
Palestinian officials have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to temporarily halt enforcement of a $656 million judgment while they pursue an appeal of the decision [1]. The damages stem from lawsuits filed by American victims of terrorist attacks that occurred in Jerusalem in the early 2000s, which killed 33 people and wounded hundreds [1]. The Supreme Court agreed in 2025 to reinstate these cases, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals approved restoration of the judgment in March 2025 [1].
In their petition, Palestinian authorities argued that paying the judgment would "undermine critical government services in the West Bank, harm innocent civilians, and threaten regional security" [1]. The litigation, governed by the Anti-Terrorism Act, has spanned more than two decades [1]. The Palestinian Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority are jointly seeking the stay pending their appeal of the ruling [1].
