Palestine Action launches secret recruitment website after terrorist designation: Report
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 7 – Palestine Action created a new website hosted in Iceland to recruit activists after its UK terror designation, with 29 arrests linked to the group since the ban, officials said.
- Palestine Action launched a secret recruitment website called Direct Action Training an hour before being proscribed as a terrorist organisation in early July 2025.
- The UK government banned Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 following the group's vandalism of two RAF aircraft causing £7 million in damage last month.
- The hidden site uses an Icelandic IP address and asks prospective recruits 14 personal questions to assess their dedication and experience in direct action.
- Police arrested more than 20 protesters supporting Palestine Action in Parliament Square on July 5, warning that expressing support for the proscribed group is now a criminal offence.
- The ban aims to suppress the group's activities, but Palestine Action declared it will continue targeting the ‘heart of the war machine’ despite the designation and legal challenges.
