In a significant move, the United States has designated the UK-based Palestine Action as a "specially designated global terrorist" organisation and imposed sanctions on the group. The sanctions are tied to allegations that the organization supports acts of terrorism. Founded in 2020, Palestine Action is currently contesting a ban imposed by the British government, which has led to thousands of arrests and has faced criticism from rights groups who argue it unfairly targets political dissent.
The group claims its goal is to end the global support for Israel's treatment of Palestinians. The move comes amid a broader campaign by the Trump administration against groups it labels as far-left organizations. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, emphasized that "political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated."
