Israeli-Americans files lawsuit against US State Department

Dual US-Israeli citizens filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the State Department claiming that the US administration provided the Palestinian Authority with billions of dollars in aid money which were used to fund Palestinian groups such as Hamas instead of supporting humanitarian causes, the website of Israeli daily (Yedioth Ahronoth) reported on Tuesday. According to the lawsuit, the State Department ignored congressional safeguards and transparency requirements attached to US aid to the Palestinian Authority. The White House, it was claimed, did not comply with the regulations and reporting obligations governing presidential waivers which facilitate emergency funding to the Palestinians, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. Evidence collected by the plaintiffs indicates that the PA directly funds \"terrorist organizations\" and that some PA officials also serve organizations which the US considers terrorist groups, the Israeli daily said, adding that the plaintiffs\' attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin   Israel Law Center said that the US government did not adhere to the law and harmed US citizens.
