A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at the port.
The demonstration was in response to Israel's military actions in Gaza, with protesters holding Palestinian flags and banners condemning the war. Greek authorities kept the Israeli passengers on board for hours before the ship was forced to leave without anyone disembarking, eventually rerouting to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greek officials condemning the protest as antisemitic.
This event highlights how the Gaza conflict is affecting Israelis abroad and straining international relations.
