The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on the Palestine Action group, designating it a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, according to a notice posted on a Treasury Department website.
The United Kingdom previously banned Palestine Action as a terrorist organization.
Palestine Action had increasingly targeted Israel‑linked defense companies in Britain with a particular focus on Israel's largest defense firm Elbit Systems.
The United Kingdom's Supreme Court has said it will hear an appeal against a lower court ruling that Britain's decision to ban campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was lawful.
