The Metropolitan Police said a 46-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman were arrested on Monday morning as part of a counter-terror policing investigation.
The two suspects, who were arrested in Romford, remain in custody at a London police station.
Commander Helen Flanagan said police are "committed to protecting vulnerable communities in the capital".
The wall in Golders Green was used as a space to display photos of protesters killed by the Iranian government during a crackdown on demonstrations in January.
A section also commemorates those killed in the 2023 Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in Israel, with a more recent message of solidarity with the Jewish community attached to a nearby tree.
The wall itself was not damaged, though a nearby cabinet was burned.
The Met said it was continuing its investigation into the incident and officers were searching an address in Romford.
Commander Helen Flanagan said: "[Counter Terrorism Policing] London is working on a number of investigations into incidents that have taken place in north west London since the attack on Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green in March.
"We have made a total of 30 arrests and nine people have been charged.
"Counter-terrorism officers continue to work closely with our colleagues in the Metropolitan Police in response to the various incidents.
"We're providing protective security advice and support to various organisations, community venues and businesses."
