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 gathered at the port.
The demonstration, sparked by opposition to Israel's military actions in Gaza, led Greek authorities to keep the passengers on board and ultimately reroute the ship to Cyprus. The incident has drawn condemnation from both Greek and Israeli officials, with Greece promising to address the situation and denouncing antisemitism. The event highlights growing tensions and the international impact of the Gaza conflict, as Israeli travelers face increased hostility abroad.
The protest featured banners and Palestinian flags, with demonstrators calling for an end to what they described as genocide in Gaza.
