Achievement for October 7 families: Palestinian-American billionaire will be required to face claims of aiding Hamas
A US court has approved the continuation of a lawsuit against Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri and companies under his control, alleging material support for Hamas. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of over 300 American victims of the October 7 attack and their families. The focus will now shift to examining the evidence and alleged connections between the companies' activities and Hamas.
A US court has approved the continuation of a lawsuit against Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri and companies under his control, alleging material support for Hamas. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of over 300 American victims of the October 7 attack and their families, accuses Masri of serious charges of providing material aid and support to Hamas. Among other claims, it is alleged that assets and business projects linked to companies under his control were used by Hamas for terrorist infrastructure purposes. The focus will now shift to examining the evidence: what Masri knew about the activities at the assets, the extent of Hamas's use of them, and whether documents, correspondence, or recordings exist that shed light on the connection. The legal proceedings are led by a team headed by attorney Lee Wolosky, who served in senior positions under four US presidents. The article notes the absurdity that Masri moves freely in Israel and wishes to take part in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
