A cruise ship carrying around 1,600 Israeli tourists was prevented from docking at the Greek island of Syros after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked its arrival, citing opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza. The ship was forced to reroute to Cyprus, leaving passengers unable to disembark and sparking diplomatic tensions between Israel and Greece. The incident is part of a wider wave of protests across Greece, with demonstrators condemning Israel's military campaign in Gaza and calling for solidarity with Palestinians. Greek authorities and Israel have both condemned the blockade, with Israel issuing a travel advisory warning of potential antisemitic threats in Greece. The event highlights growing international backlash against Israel's Gaza operations and the impact on Israeli citizens abroad.
