Pro-Palestinian 'Day of Rage' Planned Across Greece Targeting Israeli Tourists

Greek authorities and Israeli travelers have been warned about a planned pro-Palestinian "Day of Rage" set for Sunday across Greece. Approximately 40 protest sites will be active in major cities and popular islands including Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, and Mykonos. The demonstrations aim to disrupt Israeli tourists' summer vacations and call for their expulsion, particularly targeting those who have served in the Israel Defense Forces. Protesters are demanding a ban on Israeli entry, investigations, and arrests.

A similar event last year involved nearly 100 protests but failed to cause significant disruption or impact the tourists' routines. Despite the previous failure, heightened caution is advised for Israeli visitors this year due to the renewed calls for action and the scale of planned protests.

Israeli travelers in Greece are urged to remain vigilant and aware of the potential for unrest during the upcoming demonstrations. The situation reflects ongoing tensions related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict extending into international tourist destinations.
