Lawyers for Arab Bank and terrorism victims reached an agreement to settle the case after 11 years of vigorous litigation, just three days before the start of a damages trial in the Eastern District of New York.
“The parties have reached an agreement to settle the litigation,” Michael Elsner, a member of Motley Rice in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina said Friday, adding that the agreement’s framework would be finalized in the next few months. Elsner represents plaintiffs connected to one of the attacks at issue in the damages trial, a 2002 suicide bombing at a Jerusalem café.
