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 blocked the port.
The demonstrators, holding Palestinian flags and banners denouncing Israel's actions in Gaza, forced the ship to reroute to Cyprus. Greek authorities kept the Israeli passengers on board as a precaution, and the incident has sparked diplomatic discussions between Israel and Greece. The Greek government condemned the protest as 'outrageous' and vowed that antisemitism would not be tolerated.
The event highlights growing international tensions and the impact of the Gaza war on Israeli travelers abroad.
