A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after being met by over 150 pro-Palestinian protesters.
The demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and banners reading 'Stop the Genocide,' blocked the port in protest of Israel's military actions in Gaza. As a result, Greek authorities kept the Israeli passengers on board and the ship was forced to reroute 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 the growing international backlash against Israel's Gaza operations and the impact on Israeli citizens traveling abroad.
