A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at the port.
The demonstration was 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 passengers aboard and ultimately rerouted the ship to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greek officials condemning antisemitism while promising to address the situation.
The event highlights how the Gaza conflict is affecting Israelis traveling abroad and fueling international protests.
