The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, is expected to proscribe Palestine Action, after the group claimed credit for two of their activists reportedly breaching RAF Brize Norton base and sabotaging two aircraft.
Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said:
“We welcome the reported decision to proscribe Palestine Action. Their actions over recent months had become increasingly egregious – targeting Jewish charities and communal sites, desecrating statues, and encouraging acts of violence and vandalism.
The forced break-in and sabotage at an RAF base was rightly the final straw. This group has been allowed to operate with impunity for far too long. Proscription is a necessary and proportionate step to protect public safety and uphold the rule of law.”
