Police Investigate Verbal Attacks at Renewed Berlin Protest Over Israeli Restaurant Opening

Complaints from protesters and Israeli patrons have stalled the launch with social-media posts deepening conflicting narratives.

Das Restaurant „Gila & Nancy“ soll am Berliner Gendarmenmarkt eröffnen
Zwei israelische Frauen wurden von Judenhassern bepöbelt – weil sie Hebräisch sprachen.

Overview

  • Between 50 and 200 pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered Wednesday near the planned Gila and Nancy site in Berlin-Mitte to oppose its Tel Aviv roots and queer-friendly branding.
  • After the protest ended, four Israeli women speaking Hebrew outside a nearby restaurant reported being verbally assaulted with antisemitic insults by some demonstrators.
  • Berlin police confirmed multiple formal complaints for insults and threats and are investigating rival charges filed by both the Israeli guests and activists.
  • Owners first postponed the mid-July opening, citing a hostile protest environment and technical kitchen issues, and have not set a new launch date.
  • Co-owner Shahar Segal’s former role with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has become a flashpoint in wider BDS-led campaigns against Israeli-linked businesses in Germany.
