The UK Court of Appeal rules that the ban on Palestine Action under UK terrorism legislation is lawful. The group, according to reporting, has increasingly targeted Israel-linked defence companies in Britain, with a particular focus on Elbit Systems, described as Israel’s largest defence firm. In the earlier decision challenged by the group, an appeal court had found the proscription unlawful. The new ruling overturns that conclusion, maintaining that Palestine Action is correctly designated under the relevant terrorism laws. The reports characterize the case as centered on the legality of the group’s proscription rather than on the substance of specific incidents. Both outlets describe the group’s activity in the UK and its focus on defence-related targets. The ruling means the ban remains in force following the appeal, subject to further legal steps if the parties pursue them.
