Human rights groups demand review of genocide lawsuit against Biden
Human rights groups, former diplomats, and activists are urging a U.S. federal court to revisit a case accusing the Biden administration of complicity in Gaza’s genocide.
Previously dismissed due to jurisdiction issues, the lawsuit alleges the administration failed to prevent mass atrocities amid Israel’s assault on Gaza.
Amicus briefs argue the case is of exceptional importance, highlighting violations of U.S. statutes and the administration’s own arms transfer policies.
They emphasize the Israeli offensive has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties.
Advocates claim the court’s decision undermines the rule of law and U.S. credibility.
If granted, the Ninth Circuit will hear the case en banc, potentially setting a crucial legal precedent.
