A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from allowing its passengers to disembark on the Greek island of Syros after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the port.
The demonstration was organized in response to Israel's military actions in Gaza, with protesters holding signs and chanting against the war. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, kept the Israeli tourists on board and ultimately rerouted 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.
This event highlights the growing international backlash against Israel's Gaza operations and the impact on Israeli citizens traveling abroad.
