The lawsuit comes after weeks of protests across the U.S. that demand a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, President Biden is preparing to send $14 billion in military aid to Israel, funds that will likely be distributed before the Center for Constitutional Rights’ case is heard in San Francisco federal court in the coming months. “We have lost so many people, but there are still many more who are living, and we owe it to them to do everything possible to stop this genocide,” said Mohammad Herzallah in a press release. The Palestinian-American plaintiff currently has family in Gaza. “I have done everything in my power: I have participated in protests, sit-ins, wrote letters to my representatives, civil disobedience. Now I am asking the courts to end this ongoing genocide.”
