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 in protest of Israel's actions in Gaza.
The demonstration, which included Palestinian flags and anti-war banners, led Greek authorities to keep the passengers on board for hours before rerouting the ship to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greek officials condemning the protest as antisemitic. The event highlights growing international backlash against Israel over the Gaza conflict and raises concerns about the safety and reception of Israeli travelers abroad.
Greek officials have promised to address the situation and ensure such incidents do not recur.
