Israel long has maintained that the attack was a case of mistaken identity, an explanation the Johnson administration did not challenge formally. Israel said its forces thought the Liberty was an Egyptian horse carrier, apologized to the United States and paid almost $13 million in compensation, some to victims or their families.

I don't know what else they could possibly claim.
Machine gunning the life rafts was a particularly naughty touch.

We give the Israelis $2 Billion a year and they pay "reparations" of $13 Million, probably from the welfare dollars we give them!
