VARIOUS OF PROTESTERS AND POLICE CLASHINGNEW YORK, US - MAY 5: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 5, to protest a real estate event promoting land sales in Israel and the occupied West Bank. Organizers described the gathering as a response to a ‘land sale’ involving occpuied Palestinian territory. Participants waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans against Israeli settlement expansion while calling for an end to the promotion of real estate in occupied areas. Palestinians in the West Bank have faced increasing attacks by Israeli occupiers, which they say aim to pressure them into leaving their land to enable illegal settlement expansion. About 750,000 Israeli occupiers live in 141 illegal settlements and 224 outposts in the West Bank, including around 250,000 in East Jerusalem, which the United Nations considers part of the occupied Palestinian territories. According to the Palestinian Colonization & Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli forces and occupiers carried out 1,637 attacks in April, including 540 by occupiers, involving property damage, uprooting thousands of trees and seizure of Palestinian land. The West Bank has seen continued escalation since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, which has left at least 1,155 Palestinians dead, thousands injured and many more arrested, according to official figures. In a landmark opinion in July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
