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 anti-war banners, blocked the port in protest of Israel's military actions in Gaza. Greek authorities, citing safety concerns, kept the Israeli tourists aboard and the ship was ultimately forced to reroute to Cyprus. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel urging Greece to take action and Greece condemning the protest as 'outrageous' and antisemitic. The event highlights how the Gaza conflict is affecting Israelis traveling abroad and fueling international activism.
