A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from allowing its passengers to disembark on the Greek island of Syros after being met by a large pro-Palestinian protest. Demonstrators, waving Palestinian flags and holding banners such as 'Stop the Genocide,' blocked the port in protest of Israel's actions in Gaza. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, kept the Israeli tourists on board and the ship was ultimately rerouted to Cyprus. 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 Gaza conflict is affecting Israeli citizens abroad and straining international relations.
