A pro-Israel activist breached parts of a legal settlement with Sydney restaurant Cairo Takeaway, a court has ruled, after he claimed to have been “completely vindicated” following the settlement.

Justice Robert Bromwich handed down his decision in the federal court on Tuesday, in the latest chapter of a long-running feud with Ofir Birenbaum, who visited the popular Middle Eastern restaurant wearing a Star of David cap and necklace with reporters from the Daily Telegraph in February 2025.
