Fire at East Melbourne Synagogue leads to arrest amid rising antisemitism fears, sparking calls for increased security measures.
A terrifying fire at the East Melbourne Synagogue has led to the arrest of a 34-year-old man from New South Wales, prompting urgent calls for action as fears of rising antisemitism intensify across Australia.
The blaze forced 20 worshippers to flee, though no injuries were reported. Counterterrorism police made the arrest after a string of related weekend incidents left the Jewish community on edge.
Now, pressure is mounting on the Victorian government to bolster security and prevent further hate-driven crimes.
