Pro-Palestinian Protestors Clash With Police In Lenox Hill

Police held about 100 PAL-Awda protesters back as they shouted anti-Israel slogans and clashed with supporters outside the synagogue.

  • On Tuesday, roughly 100 anti-Zionist demonstrators rallied outside Manhattan's Park East Synagogue, targeting 'The Great Israeli Real Estate Event 2026' being held inside the building.
  • Protesters returned to the site following a similar demonstration last November, prompting the NYPD to establish a perimeter to prevent attendees from being harassed at the entrance.
  • Confrontations escalated near East 66th Street as demonstrators breached barricades; police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, and one officer suffered a leg injury.
  • New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement opposing the real estate event while defending protesters' First Amendment rights, drawing criticism from Jewish advocacy groups.
  • The event reflects ongoing tension over protest tactics near religious institutions, as officials debate balancing protected speech with the safety of Jewish New Yorkers.
