A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from allowing its passengers to disembark on the Greek island of Syros due to a large pro-Palestinian protest.
Demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and holding banners against Israel's actions in Gaza, blocked the port and prompted Greek authorities to keep the Israelis onboard as a precaution. The ship was ultimately forced to leave Syros and reroute to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic discussions between Israeli and Greek officials, with Israel urging Greece to address the situation.
This event highlights how the ongoing Gaza conflict is affecting Israeli citizens abroad and fueling international protests.
