Supreme Court case involving victims of terrorism suing Palestinian entities

The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case involving victims of terrorism suing Palestinian entities, with the issue being whether a 2019 law violates due process rights. Congress intervened after a lower court ruled U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction. The legal question is on whether the defendants consented to jurisdiction. The PLO and PA argue that Congress forced them to be sued, violating due process.
