U.S. blacklists Palestine Action as terrorist group | 26 Aug 2026 | The U.S. has labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group, marking the first time that a British left-wing organization has been targeted by U.S. terrorism sanctions. The U.S. Treasury also blacklisted two other left-wing groups. Palestine Action was added to the U.S. list of Specially Designated ​Global Terrorist organizations on Wednesday, according to a statement posted online by the US Treasury Department. Under the department’s sanctions, the group will have any of its bank accounts or property in the U.S. frozen, while its members could be barred from entering the country. Formed in the UK in 2020, Palestine Action’s stated goal is to end “global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime.”
