JASTA, another nail in the coffin of US-GCC relations (Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Al Arabiya)

Congress has done the unimaginable by almost unanimously passing a law allowing the families of 9-11 victims to lodge civil cases against Saudi Arabia (and other states) for aiding and abetting terrorism, which flouts all international laws and conventions protecting sovereign states from frivolous lawsuits. The Congress, it seems, has arrogantly rewritten international law in a display of unprecedented arrogance and disrespect for one of its closest allies.
