A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the port in response to Israel's actions in Gaza.
The demonstration, involving over 150 people waving Palestinian flags and holding anti-war banners, led Greek authorities to keep the Israeli passengers onboard for hours before rerouting the ship to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to address the situation and Greece condemning the protest as antisemitic. The event highlights growing international backlash against Israel's Gaza campaign and the risks faced by Israeli travelers abroad.
Greek officials have promised to investigate and prevent similar incidents in the future.
