SHARON BEN-HAIM VS. DANIEL EDRI, ET AL
A-2247-15T4
We hold that New Jersey courts do not have jurisdiction to
hear civil claims against foreign officials when the United States,
through the State Department, has issued a suggestion of immunity
(SOI) determining that those officials are entitled to conduct-
based immunity. Therefore, we affirm a December 9, 2016 order
dismissing plaintiff's civil complaint against six Israeli
rabbinical judges and an official of the Rabbinical Religious
Courts Administration of Israel after the State Department
determined that the judges and official were acting within the
scope of their duties for a foreign sovereign nation. Monday, February 5, 2018
