    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned ‘serious hate crimes’ in Australia following an arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue and chaotic protests at a nearby Israeli restaurant.

    The front of the East Hebrew Congregation was allegedly set on fire on Albert Street, in East Melbourne, at 8pm on Friday.

    A short time later, protesters gathered outside Israeli restaurant Miznon on nearby Hardware Lane.

    Police said about 20 of them shouted ‘offensive chants’ and were directed to leave the area.

    The Joint Counter Terrorism Team arrested a 34-year-old man from Toongabbie, western Sydney, in Melbourne’s CBD at 8.15pm on Saturday and charged him over the alleged arson attack at the synagogue.

    Netanyahu joined high-ranking Israeli officials to condemn the incidents and demand the government to take ‘all necessary measures’ to bring those responsible to justice.

    ‘Vile antisemitic attacks, accompanied by chants of ‘Death to the IDF’ and an attempt to harm a house of worship, are serious hate crimes that must be uprooted at their source,’ he said.

    ‘Israel will continue to stand with the Jewish community in Australia, and we call on the Australian government to take all necessary measures to bring the rioters to justice and to prevent such attacks in the future.’

    Victoria Police allege the man walked through Parliament Gardens before setting the front of the synagogue alight.

    ‘The man allegedly poured a flammable liquid on the front door of the building and set it on fire before fleeing the scene on foot in a westerly direction along Albert Street,’ a spokesman said.

    ‘There were approximately 20 people inside the synagogue at the time of the incident, taking part in Shabbat.

    ‘Everyone inside self-evacuated through the rear of the building and were uninjured.’

    The man faces charges of reckless conduct endangering life, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, criminal damage by fire, and possessing a controlled weapon.

    The man will front Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Sunday.

    The arrest comes after police released on Saturday an image of a man they wished to speak to over the alleged arson attack.

    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on X there have been too many anti-Semitic attacks in Australia. 

    ‘The Australian government must do more to fight this poisonous disease,’ he said.

    Meanwhile Israeli President Isaac Herzog also wrote on the social media platform it was ‘intolerable’ that in 2025, they were still faced with the chilling image of an attempt to burn Jews alive as they prayed and attacks on Jewish businesses.

    ‘I condemn outright the vile arson attack targeting Jews in Melbourne’s historic and oldest synagogue on the Sabbath, and on an Israeli restaurant where people had come to enjoy a meal together,’ he said.

    Speaking outside the Melbourne synagogue on Sunday morning, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke defended legislative efforts to combat hate speech and violence. 

    ‘This government has taken the strongest actions Australia has ever taken in making hate symbols unlawful, in making calls for violence and hate speech to have serious criminal penalties,’ he said.

    ‘But the job of making sure we eliminate anti-Semitism belongs to every single one of us.’

    Mr Burke said people should be safe wherever they go in Australia.

    ‘We do not import hatred and violence from overseas to life in Australia,’ he said.

    ‘Hatred has no place in Australia. Anti-Semitism has no place in Australia. The history of anti-Semitism throughout the world is something where what starts with words rarely ends with words.’

    Mr Burke said Victorian Police were leading the investigation into the incidents.
