British Supreme Court: Considering “Palestine Action” a terrorist organization is illegal

02-13-2026 05:50 PM

Amman – The Supreme Court in London ruled on Friday that the British government’s decision to ban the pro-Palestinian movement (Palestine Action) was illegal, and considered it a terrorist organization. However, the ban will remain in effect temporarily, while the government confirmed that it will appeal the decision.

Palestine Action was banned in July after it intensified its targeting of defense companies in Britain linked to Israel through “direct action,” which often included blocking entrances or spraying red paint.

Britain said the movement’s escalation of its actions amounted to terrorism, citing a 2024 raid on a factory belonging to Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest defense company, in which prosecutors said activists caused losses estimated at £1 million ($1.4 million), and that a policeman was beaten with a sledgehammer.
