UK could ban Palestinian Action group following RAF air base break in

The Palestinian Action group, a pro-Palestinian protest group, could be banned in the UK and be defined as a "terrorist" organisation, according to the BBC.

The move comes shortly after the group said on Friday that two of its members broke into a UK RAF air base on scooters, and defaced two military aircraft with red spray paint, in a breach of security in a location used to park transport planes of the king and the prime minister.

The individuals fled the RAF’s Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire without being arrested.

According to the BBC, the UK home secretary, Yvette Cooper, plans to bring forward a statement to Parliament on Monday. If passed, the group will be illegal in Britain.

Earlier, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer denounced the incident, describing it as "disgraceful and an act of vandalism".
