A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from allowing its passengers to disembark on the Greek island of Syros due to a large pro-Palestinian protest.
Demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and holding anti-war banners, gathered at the port to protest Israel's military actions in Gaza. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, kept the Israeli tourists on board and the ship was ultimately rerouted to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greece condemning the protest as 'outrageous' and antisemitic.
This event highlights the growing impact of the Gaza conflict on Israeli travelers abroad and the increasing visibility of pro-Palestinian activism in Europe.
