The Jerusalem District Court set Sunday as the deadline for arguments as a new study links the PA prisoner-payment system to senior Hamas figures involved in the massacre.
Lawyers for more than 8,000 people seeking to hold the Palestinian Authority responsible for harm caused by the October 7 massacre and the war that followed are expected to file written arguments with the Jerusalem District Court by the end of Sunday.
The short briefs will set out why the plaintiffs believe the PA should bear civil responsibility - and potentially be required to pay damages - for the deaths, injuries, and other harm caused by the attack and the ensuing war.
The filings are the first step in a court-ordered process aimed at answering a central question shared by thousands of separate lawsuits: whether the PA's actions and policies can be linked closely enough to October 7 for it to be held legally responsible.
