A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after more than 150 pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the port.
The demonstration, which included banners and Palestinian flags, was organized in response to Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza. As a result, the ship was forced to skip its planned stop and reroute to Cyprus, leaving passengers unable to disembark. The incident has sparked diplomatic discussions between Israel and Greece, with Greek authorities condemning the protest as antisemitic and promising to address the situation.
The event highlights growing international tensions and the impact of the Gaza conflict on Israeli travelers abroad.
