“We are delighted with the news that Government will formally move to proscribe Palestine Action.

Greater Manchester and the surrounding regions are familiar with their glorification of terrorism, thuggery and vandalism. Their behaviour has been a longstanding threat to society as we work to ensure the Middle East conflict is not imported onto our streets.

Alongside our communal partners, proscription has been a longstanding ask in all our recent meetings and we welcome this timely and important announcement.”
