According to a notice on the Treasury Department website, this move was made on Wednesday.\n\nThe UK had previously banned Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. The group had been targeting Israel-linked defense companies in Britain.\n\nOver 250 academics and lawyers have written to the British Prime Minister, urging him to end military cooperation with Israel and to de-proscribe Palestine Action, according to Middle East Eye.",
