A cruise ship carrying hundreds of Israelis was reportedly unable to dock in Greece due to an anti-Israel protest and has continued instead to Cyprus.
According to Hebrew media reports citing passengers on board the ship, the cruise company, Mano Maritime, decided not to attempt to dock at the Greek island of Syros due to the large anti-Israel protest and will travel instead to Limassol, Cyprus. The reports say there are 1,600 Israelis on board.
There was no immediate confirmation from the cruise company. Earlier, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said he spoke with his Greek counterpart about the issue and requested intervention in the docking of the ship.
