Yazbek faces legal repercussions and business fallout after displaying a swastika at a pro-Palestinian rally.

  • Alan Yazbek, co-owner of the Nomad Restaurant Group, pleaded guilty to displaying a swastika at a pro-Palestine rally in Sydney.
  • The incident occurred on October 6, where Yazbek held a sign that replaced the Star of David with a swastika and read 'Stop Nazi Israel'.
  • Following the backlash, Yazbek stepped down from his role in the Nomad Group, and their restaurants were removed from the Good Food Guide.
  • His actions led to severed business ties with partners such as Goldman Sachs and the champagne brand G. H. Mumm.
  • Yazbek has publicly apologized, expressing regret for offending the Jewish community and stating his commitment to diversity and equality.
