Palestine Action has been declared a global terrorist organisation by the US.
The protest group has been added to a list that includes Hamas, al-Qaeda and Islamic State, meaning supporters face a lifetime ban from entering the US.
US officials said that by promoting its "acts of terrorism" on social media, Palestine Action encouraged others to copy its tactics overseas, including in America. It is the first known case of a British Left-wing activist group being subjected to US counter-terrorism sanctions.
Under the new measures, Palestine Action's assets in the US, including bank accounts and property, are being frozen, and Americans are banned from doing business with the group.
The sanctions also prohibit people from giving funds, goods or services to Palestine Action, effectively cutting it off from the global financial system.
Britons who continue to fund the organisation or take part in protests could themselves face harsh sanctions and visa bans, The Telegraph understands.
They also risk being unable to open a bank account or get a mortgage.
Under the sanctions, Richard Barnard and Huda Ammori, who co-founded Palestine Action in the UK in July 2020 and are British citizens, face lifetime bans from the US.
The move follows the UK Government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group after activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and damaged military aircraft in June 2025.
