Gaza protesters confront Israeli cruise ship docked in Crete
Protesters waving Palestinian flags scuffled with police at Agios Nikolaos port in Crete, Greece, where an Israeli cruise ship was docked. It was the third such protest to take place in the Greek islands in a week after similar scenes in Rhodes and Syros.
In recent years, Greece has become a popular destination for Israeli tourists, reflecting the increasingly close ties between the two Mediterranean nations. The series of protests highlight the mounting disquiet in Greece over Israel’s actions in Gaza
