The Zioneer has issued a warning to Israeli travelers about a planned pro-Palestinian 'Day of Rage' across Greece on Sunday, August 9. Organizers are calling for protests at over 40 locations, including Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, and Mykonos, with the stated aim of disrupting Israeli summer tourism. The warning follows a report by Channel 14 earlier today, which first detailed the planned demonstrations.
The alert comes amid a broader pattern of antisemitic incidents targeting Israeli tourists in Greece this summer. In June, Greek authorities arrested a 37-year-old Palestinian man on Crete suspected of plotting an attack on an Israeli cruise ship on behalf of Hamas, with explosives-making materials found in his apartment. The suspect remains in pretrial detention. In July, a Greek travel agency was reported to have refused service to Israeli customers in an antisemitic email, drawing a backlash. Additionally, antisemitic graffiti was reported in central Athens earlier this month.
The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation and advise Israeli travelers to exercise caution and stay informed of local developments.
