Rhodes: Protests at Port During Arrival of Israeli Tourists

Protests erupted at the port of Rhodes upon the arrival of a cruise ship carrying over 650 Israeli tourists. Demonstrators voiced their opposition to Israel's policies in the Gaza Strip.

Stringent security measures were in place, with police and port authorities prepared for potential unrest. Two riot police squads were deployed to prevent any incidents.

Minor clashes occurred during the demonstration, and several arrests were made. Among those detained was Evangelia Panahi, a politician from Plefsi Eleftherias and former municipal councilor of Rhodes.

The cruise ship 'Crown Iris' had already arrived off the coast of the port.
