Gaza protest blocks cruise ship’s visit to Greece

Protesters on the Greek island of Syros prevented a cruise ship from docking there this week amid growing calls for Israel to end its military activities in Gaza.

Around 1,700 passengers were on the Crown Iris when it tried to dock at Syros on Tuesday. The vessel, which was being operated by the Israeli company Mano Cruise, was met by at least 150 demonstrators who prevented passengers from disembarking.

The Times of Israel said around 1,600 Israeli nationals were on board at the time.
