Upon arriving in Oakland; Ground Control cleared us to Gate XX behind Aircraft Y that was being towed into Gate YY. Upon reaching our J-line; we were marshaled into Gate XX as Aircraft Y was still being pulled into Gate YY. We could see their right wingtip was getting close to us; but our Ground Crew kept marshalling us in. The Captain taxied slowly; and we kept track of Aircraft Y's wingtip. Once parked; we noticed several Airport Operations Personnel; as well as Company Personnel on the ramp taking pictures. Aircraft Y had parked on the wrong line at Gate YY; causing their wing tip to be inside our Safety Zone at Gate XX. After a brief discussion; it was decided that we would need to push back out of the gate to allow Aircraft Y to reposition to the correct line.
Air carrier First Officer reported an aircraft under tow violated their safety zone at the gate.
