  "summary": "The United States has designated the UK-based Palestine Action group as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The group was set up in 2020 and has been banned by the British government since 2025. According to the US Department of the Treasury, Palestine Action has supported numerous acts of terrorism.\n\nThe US move allows for sanctions to be imposed on the group, aiming to cut its financial lifelines. The designation is part of the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on what it describes as far-left terror networks.\n\nThe UK banned Palestine Action for damaging materials at weapons factories run by Elbit Systems, a key provider of weapons to the Israeli military. Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori responded to the US designation, saying it was hypocritical given the US's actions in her homelands. Ammori stated that the group's actions have always been about saving lives.",
