A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from allowing its passengers to disembark on the Greek island of Syros after being met by a large pro-Palestinian protest.
Demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and holding banners condemning Israel's actions in Gaza, blocked the port and forced authorities to keep the Israeli tourists aboard. The ship was ultimately rerouted to Cyprus, leaving passengers stranded for hours. 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 military campaign in Gaza and its impact on Israeli citizens abroad.
