Days before the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, a lawsuit seeking 5.151 billion shekels was filed in the Jerusalem District Court against the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and Qadura Faris, the PA and PLO's Minister of Prisoner Affairs. The suit, brought by the law firms Dr. Gideon Fisher & Co. and Mordechai Heller, represents nearly 900 plaintiffs, including families of those killed in the massacre, victims of hostile acts, and soldiers wounded during the fighting.
The plaintiffs allege that the PA, PLO, and Faris were involved in the planning and execution of the October 7th attacks, providing financial and material support to terrorist organizations and operatives. The lawsuit claims the defendants knew about the massacre, participated in its planning, and funded and trained the terrorists responsible. It seeks to hold them liable for damages incurred by the victims and their families, in accordance with the law for compensating victims of terrorism.
Professor and Attorney Gideon Fisher stated that the lawsuit relies, in part, on intelligence indicating that senior PA officials transferred funds before October 7th to individuals known to be terrorists. He also cited evidence of funds being transferred to the families of Nukhba terrorists after the massacre.
