Defense for Children International-Palestine et al v. Biden et al is a lawsuit by Defence for Children International-Palestine et al in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken for the U.S. officials; alleged "failure to prevent and complicity in the unfolding genocide against Gaza."[1][2][3][4] The plaintiffs include several Palestinian Americans whose families have been killed.[5] The court dismissed the case on January 31, 2024, ruling that while "it is plausible that Israel's conduct amounts to genocide," US foreign policy was a political question over which courts lacked jurisdiction.[6][7][8]
