In Greece, a pro-Palestinian group wanted
to prevent Israeli tourists from setting foot on the island after arriving in
Rhodes Island on a cruise ship. A brawl broke out between the demonstrators and
the police.
Protests against the cruise ship Crown Iris carrying
Israeli tourists continue in Greece. The Israeli tourists on the ship, who were
previously protested by Palestinian supporters on Syros Island and were not
allowed to set foot on the island, were protested this time on Rhodes Island. A
group of supporters of Palestine gathered at the harbor, chanting slogans of
"Freedom for Palestine" and wanted to prevent Israeli tourists from
setting foot on Rhodes Island. Police intervened the demonstrators. Greek media
reported that the tourists on the ship had safely landed on the island before
the protest.
The pro-Palestinian group had called for a protest
before the arrival of the ship to the island, but representatives of local
businesses on the island opposed the protest.
