Lawsuit implicating Biden in Gaza ‘genocide’ gets expedited appeal

A federal appeals court has granted a motion to expedite the appeal of a lawsuit that accuses Biden of failing to stop an unfolding genocide in Gaza.

The lawsuit was originally dismissed last month by a district court. However, the judge said in his ruling that there was a plausible case for genocide in Gaza.

The Center for Constitutional Rights and law firm Van Der Hout LLP were seeking the expedited appeal, citing the current conditions in Gaza amid Israel's war "including mass starvation, intentionally inflicted upon plaintiffs, their families, and all the residents of Gaza".

“The Ninth Circuit’s grant of our motion to expedite is important, as the dire and unlivable conditions in Gaza must be addressed urgently,” Johnny Sinodis of Van Der Hout LLP said in a statement shared with MEE.

“Each day that the US continues its unrestrained support of Israel, more and more innocent women and children are slaughtered by Israel’s assault and indiscriminate bombing campaign.
