Buffer Zone Bill Goes Into Effect As Protest Takes Place During Internationally Outlawed Land Sales In New York City
Protesters gather in New York City, United States, on May 5, 2026, as ''The Great Israeli Real Estate Event 2026'' takes place at the Park East Synagogue. The event involves the sale of West Bank settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. Police establish an expansive perimeter for blocks around the synagogue. No arrests occur, although the New York Police Department deploys pepper spray and kettles press at one point. Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration expresses opposition to the event before it begins. (Photo by Neil Constantine/NurPhoto)
