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.
The demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and banners reading 'Stop the Genocide,' opposed Israel's military actions in Gaza and called for an end to 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 the protest as antisemitic.
The event highlights growing international backlash against Israel's Gaza campaign and its impact on Israeli citizens traveling abroad.
