American victims of terrorism could soon sue international orgs if Cruz's bill passes
Fox News
The LIABLE Act, championed by Senator Ted Cruz, aims to hold accountable organizations funding terrorism by allowing American victims to pursue legal action against them.

"UNRWA has knowingly provided salaries and materials to Hamas for decades. That support enabled Hamas to arm itself, create its vast underground terrorist infrastructure, and launch its October 7th atrocities on Israel," Cruz said in a statement on the original piece of legislation introduced in 2024. "That attack included the murder and kidnapping of dozens of Americans. The victims and their families deserve the ability to hold UNRWA accountable in court for its support of Hamas and for what happened on October 7th."
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a major target of this legislation. UNRWA has faced accusations of aiding Hamas before, during and after the terror group carried out its Oct. 7 massacre. In August 2024, the agency fired nine workers who were allegedly involved in the attacks, which left 1,200 dead and 251 taken hostage.
