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 for safety reasons. As a result, the ship was forced to skip its planned stop and reroute to Cyprus. The incident has drawn diplomatic attention, with Israel's foreign minister urging Greece to address the situation.
This episode highlights how the Gaza conflict is affecting Israeli citizens abroad and sparking international protests.
