Pro-Palestine protesters clash with police in New York
More than 100 protesters gathered as police kept them nearly a block away from the synagogue during an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank.
- On Tuesday, pro-Palestine protesters gathered outside Manhattan's Park East Synagogue during 'The Great Israeli Real Estate Event 2026,' chanting 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' and other slogans.
- This event marked the first test of a new law allowing the NYPD to establish case-by-case buffer zones outside houses of worship, enacted after November's contentious protest at the same synagogue.
- Police kept demonstrators over 100 feet away from the building using discretion granted by the legislation, while pro-Israel counter-protesters rallied across the street as tensions escalated between the groups.
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday defended police conduct but criticized the real estate event, stating, 'There is no tolerance for hatred of Jewish New Yorkers,' while condemning West Bank land sales.
- Local leaders warned the demonstration intended to stigmatize Jewish New Yorkers amid a surge in antisemitic hate crimes citywide, as the NYPD has 90 days to finalize its protest management plan.
