Scores of complaints were filed accusing the Jordan-based bank for distributing financial benefits to families including members who killed themselves in Palestinian territories.
According to the bank, in 2013, US District Judge Jack Weinstein in Brooklyn, New York, issued a ruling says the bank had no bad faith nor was responsible for injuries the plaintiff sustained during his banking service.
