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 denouncing Israel's actions in Gaza, forced the ship to divert to Cyprus instead. Greek authorities kept the Israeli passengers onboard as a precaution, citing safety concerns. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greek officials condemning the protest as 'outrageous' and antisemitic.
The event highlights how the ongoing Gaza conflict is impacting Israeli travelers abroad and fueling international protests.
