Middle East5 sources4 countries11m ago
Irish author Sally Rooney's books have been pulled from sale in the United Kingdom following her support for Palestine Action, an organization that was recently banned. Palestine Action had increasingly targeted defense companies linked to Israel, leading to its prohibition shortly after a break-in at the Royal Air Force's Brize Norton base in June 2025.
In response to the ban and Rooney's ongoing support for the group, her publisher, Faber, has halted the supply of her books in the UK. The decision to stop sales was made in agreement with the author herself, directly impacting the availability of her literary works in the British market.
