Jul 16, 2024, 10:24 AM

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Palestinian rights advocates accusing President Joe Biden and senior executive branch officials of enabling genocide in Gaza. The federal appeals court ruled on Monday that the case raised political questions about foreign affairs that could not be decided by the judiciary. The lawsuit sought to enjoin U.S. support to Israel in its ongoing operations in Gaza. This decision reaffirms the lower court's ruling that dismissed the claims from Palestinian organizations.
