"Judge's Israel Trip Raises Questions in Gaza Case"

Plaintiffs suing the Biden administration over Gaza policy have requested the recusal of Judge Ryan Nelson from their case due to his participation in a World Jewish Congress-sponsored trip to Israel, which they argue was intended to influence U.S. judicial opinion on Israeli military actions. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments next week, and the plaintiffs have filed an emergency motion for recusal, citing ethical concerns. Legal experts are divided on whether recusal is necessary.
