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 denouncing Israel's actions in Gaza, blocked the port and prompted Greek authorities to keep the Israelis on board for hours. The ship was ultimately forced to leave Syros and reroute 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 how the ongoing Gaza conflict is affecting Israeli citizens abroad and straining international relations.
