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 at the port.
The demonstration, organized by local residents and activists, was in response to Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, kept the Israeli tourists on board and ultimately rerouted the ship to Cyprus. The incident has prompted diplomatic discussions between Israeli and Greek officials, with Israel urging Greece to address the situation.
