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 blocked the port in protest of Israel's actions in Gaza.
The demonstration, which featured Palestinian flags and banners reading 'Stop the Genocide,' forced the ship to remain offshore and ultimately reroute to Cyprus. Greek authorities kept the Israeli passengers on board as a precaution, and the incident has sparked diplomatic discussions between Israel and Greece. The Greek government condemned the protest, labeling it as antisemitic and promising to address the situation.
This event highlights the growing international backlash against Israel over the Gaza conflict, with Israeli travelers facing increasing disruptions abroad.
