"About 100 pro-Palestinian protesters have gathered outside a New York synagogue for the second time in six months to demonstrate against an Israeli real estate event featuring properties for sale in the occupied West Bank."
"New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the real estate event, stating that some of the properties being marketed were illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians."
"The event in New York, formally known as The Great Israeli Real Estate Event, is held in the United States and Canada with the aim of helping foreign buyers buy property in Israel and relocate there."
"Under international law, Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal."
