Two unnamed Palestinian Americans are suing the custodian of Palm Beach County’s financial assets over the investment of $700 million in Israel Bonds, which help to fund the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

The lawsuit, which was filed May 15 in the 15th Judicial Circuit Court, alleges that the county’s comptroller and circuit court clerk, Joseph Abruzzo, invested the funds in the sovereign bonds in violation of Florida law. 

“Palm Beach County has recently been making investment decisions that are putting its county funds at risk and that are ignoring vital local needs,” the lawsuit states.
