Three individuals have been charged with assault, riotous behavior, and criminal damage following a protest at the Israeli-owned restaurant Miznon in Melbourne's CBD on July 4, 2025. The incident occurred after a larger protest on Swanston Street and was not linked to the antisemitic incidents that took place on the same night, including the firebombing of a synagogue and the torching of three cars [1].The charges were laid by Victoria Police after a group of protesters targeted the restaurant, smashing a window and terrifying diners. The protesters reportedly targeted the restaurant due to its alleged ties to the American-Israeli aid group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is backed by controversial figures [2].
Miznon released a statement expressing the profound impact the incident had on staff and welcoming people from all backgrounds. The restaurant has been a popular dining spot in Melbourne's CBD for several years, known for its Israeli cuisine.
This incident underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict and its spillover effects into other regions, including Australia. The charges highlight the need for law enforcement to address such incidents effectively and ensure public safety.
