The Trump administration has labeled the UK activist group Palestine Action as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), as part of its campaign against alleged violent far-left terrorist organizations. This designation occurred a year after the UK banned the group for causing damage at weapons factories operated by Elbit Systems, a major supplier of weaponry to the Israeli military.
The Israeli military has been accused of conducting a genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip, a claim supported by the United Nations and Holocaust scholars. In response to this decision, protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, on August 9, 2025, wearing masks to avoid retaliation, to demonstrate against the siege on Gaza.
