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 ongoing military actions in Gaza, with protesters holding signs and chanting against the war. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, did not allow the passengers to disembark, and the ship was forced to reroute to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to address the situation and Greece condemning antisemitism while promising to investigate.
This event highlights how the Gaza conflict is affecting Israelis abroad and fueling international protests.
