Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has reaffirmed the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, describing it as more than a typical protest group known for occasional stunts. This decision has sparked mounting criticism and global outrage. Former extremism tsar has called for the revocation of a Palestine Action activist’s passport. Campaigners have lodged a contempt of court complaint against Cooper, challenging her claim that the group was banned due to violence against people. Additionally, Hamas accused the British Home Secretary of subordinating her authority to Zionism and the state of Israel. In a related development, Israel's ambassador to London held a private meeting with BP in November 2023 during the early stages of the Gaza conflict. BP declined to comment on the discussion, which occurred shortly after the company was granted a new gas license by Israel.
