According to reporting by The New York Times, a few hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the synagogue, which was hosting what was described as “the Great Israel Real Estate Event.” The event promotes property purchases in Israel and, controversially, in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Dozens of pro-Israel counter-protesters also assembled at the site. Both sides exchanged chants and slogans, some of which have been widely debated and criticised. Police formed barriers to keep the groups apart, though intermittent clashes occurred primarily between protesters and officers. The NYT reported that no arrests were reported during the protest, though tensions remained high throughout the evening. Pro-Palestinian protesters chanted "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and "Long live the intifada," which many pro-Israel organizations interpret as demands for violence. "There is no Palestine" was chanted by several counterprotesters. According to Mario Nawfal, Pro-Palestinian protestors were yelled at by a counter-protester, "Hitler would have put you in the oven."

The protest erupted against the event at Park East Synagogue that reportedly involved marketing or promoting real estate connected to Israel. This has drawn criticism from pro-Palestinian activists, who argue that they are a part of settlement activity in disputed territories. According to The New York Times, similar events have previously sparked protests in New York and other cities Zohran Mamdani expressed opposition to the event itself, citing concerns about the promotion of land sales in West Bank settlements, which many international bodies consider illegal. At the same time, he emphasised the importance of ensuring safe access to places of worship and protecting the right to protest. In recent months, there have been at least two more rallies outside synagogues in New York, which contributed to the passing of two City Council measures meant to address issues regarding protests outside places of worship and educational institutions.
