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, objecting to Israel's actions in Gaza, gathered at the port and blocked access, prompting Greek authorities to keep the tourists on board as a precaution. The ship was ultimately forced to leave Syros and reroute to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic discussions between Israeli and Greek officials, with Israel urging Greece to address the situation.
