Palestinian human rights organizations, together with Palestinians in Gaza and the United States, have filed a lawsuit in US federal court against President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin over the US officials’ failure to prevent and complicity in the Israeli government’s unfolding genocide against them, their families and the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Among the plaintiffs is Ahmed Abu Artema, founder of the 2018 Great March of Return, whose 13-year-old son Abdullah was among several of Ahmed’s family members killed in an Israeli bombing attack on their home last month.

Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Jon Elmer and I will be joined by Sahar Doost of the Center for Constitutional Rights, whose lawyers are part of the legal team.

Birzeit University’s Abdaljawad Omar will also help us understand developments in the occupied West Bank and across the region.

And with Jon we will talk about the latest military developments in the resistance battle to defend Gaza’s residents from Israel’s genocidal invasion.
