Times Of Israel: UNRWA not immune from lawsuits in US, DoJ says, arguing Oct. 7 victims’ suit can go ahead
The U.S. Department of Justice has reversed its previous stance, stating that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is not immune from lawsuits in the U.S. This decision comes as part of a lawsuit filed by families of victims from the October 7 Hamas attack, claiming UNRWA aided the terror group.
Previously, the Biden administration argued that UNRWA was protected under international immunity. However, the current DOJ asserts that UNRWA is not a subsidiary of the UN and thus can be held liable in U.S. courts. This shift may impact ongoing legal actions against the agency, which has faced criticism for its alleged ties to Hamas.
