New York, November 14 (RHC)-- The Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit against President Biden accusing him of failing to follow his obligations under international and U.S. law to prevent the genocide in Gaza. 

The complaint was brought on behalf of Palestinians, including residents of Gaza, who are asking a federal court to block Biden, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin from providing further military funding, arms and diplomatic support to Israel. 

Katherine Gallagher, a senior attorney at the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights and one of the lawyers who brought the case, said in a statement: “The United States has a clear and binding obligation to prevent, not further, genocide.  So far, they have failed in both their legal, moral duty and considerable power to end this horror.  They must do so.”
