Pro-Palestinian activists disrupted the departure of approximately 1,500 ‘Israeli’ tourists from a cruise ship at the port of Souda on Crete on Monday, according to ‘Israeli’ media.

A small group of demonstrators blocked the port exit, preventing passengers from leaving the vessel.

One passenger, Yossi Manor, told Yedioth Ahronoth, “We tried to leave the ship, but around ten protesters stood with signs and prevented us from exiting the port.” He added that Cretan police closed the gates and did not allow them to leave.
