PALESTINE ACTION is one of three left-wing groups from across the globe that the United States has hit with sanctions and labelled as “terrorist.”

The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said it was also sanctioning Autistici Inventati, an Italy-based group, and Masar Badil, which it linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Two leaders of Masar Badil, Rawa Alsagheer and Zaid Abdulnasser, were also sanctioned.

Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist group by the British government in July 2025.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said: “Far-left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear.  

“Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated.”

Washington said the decision was being taken in line with its 2026 Counter-Terrorism Strategy that identifies “violent far-left terrorist groups as one of the three major terrorist threats facing the US today.”

The sanctions mean all property and interests in property of the groups or individuals that are in the US “or in the possession or control of US persons” are blocked.
