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 authorities to keep the passengers on board and ultimately reroute the ship to Cyprus. Greek officials condemned the protest as 'outrageous' and stressed that antisemitism would not be tolerated, while Israeli officials urged Greece to take action. The incident highlights growing international tensions and the impact of the Gaza conflict on Israeli travelers abroad. The event has sparked debate in Greece and Israel about the intersection of tourism, protest, and international politics.
