Israel Issues Travel Warning for Greeks Protests Urging Israelis to Hide Identity

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an elevated travel warning for Israelis in Greece ahead of planned protests organized by pro-Palestinian groups, including the BDS movement, the Palestinian community, and the 'Stop the War' coalition. These demonstrations, opposing Israeli military actions in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority, are scheduled for Sunday across multiple locations such as Athens, Thessaloniki, tourist areas, and the islands.

Israeli travelers are advised to avoid protest sites, maintain heightened vigilance, and steer clear of confrontations with demonstrators. The ministry also recommends that Israelis conceal any Israeli or Jewish symbols and refrain from sharing their exact locations on social media in real time. Compliance with instructions from local security forces is strongly urged.

In emergencies, Israelis can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' situation center at +972-2-5303155 or the Israeli Embassy in Athens' emergency line at +30-694-4271668.
