Pro-Palestinian protesters prevent arrival of Israeli cruise ship on Greek island
Dozens of people on the Greek island of Syros have gathered at the port to prevent the docking of a cruise ship carrying Israeli passengers.
Footage from the scene showed the demonstrators carrying giant Palestinian flags and chanting slogans such as “Freedom for Palestine” as the Crown Iris cruise ship, which is operated by Israeli shipping firm Mano Maritime, approached the port of the Aegean Sea island.
The ship’s passengers were reportedly set to disembark on Syros for six hours, but they were not being permitted to disembark due to the protest.
Media reports quoted the island’s residents as saying their action was in solidarity with the people of Gaza, adding that it is “unacceptable” that Israeli tourists continue to be welcomed while Palestinians are suffering in the besieged and bombarded territory.
Israeli Medical Association calls for ethical handling of humanitarian aid in Gaza
The chairman of the Israel Medical Association, Zion Hagai, has asked Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir and the head of the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) office, Ghassan Alian, for “consideration” and “assurance” that aid is “being transferred to those in need in Gaza, while making an effort to prevent it from falling into the hands of terrorist organisations”.
“In recent days, reports have emerged that the State of Israel is preventing the introduction of humanitarian and medical equipment into Gaza, claiming that it can also be used to create weapons or terrorist infrastructure,” he said.
“We are aware of security considerations, but as an organisation that, among other things, trusts in the principles of medical ethics and concerns for public health, we would like to emphasise the necessity of ensuring medical equipment and basic humanitarian conditions for the civilian population in Gaza,” he added.
The Medical Association has refrained thus far from issuing public criticism of the security establishment or condemning the starvation or killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In a separate appeal from Hagai to the army chief, the chairman warned that the killing of Palestinians waiting to receive humanitarian aid is a serious violation of ethics and international law.
Recent days? March 2nd, well over 4 months ago, is when Israel closed off all aid, during the ceasefire which Israel broke.
Israeli minister posts AI-generated video of a future Gaza without Palestinians
Israel’s Science and Technology Minister Gila Gamliel has shared an AI-generated video showing Gaza filled with high-rise buildings, a Trump skyscraper, and Benjamin Netanyahu walking along a beachfront boardwalk with his wife.
In the video, Israelis can be seen eating and drinking beer in a market, while US President Donald Trump is seen strolling along the beach with his wife, Melania Trump.
“This is what Gaza will look like in the future. Voluntary migration of Gazans only with Trump and Netanyahu. It’s us or – them,” Gamliel wrote in a post on X.
The video is reminiscent of an AI-generated video posted by Trump on social media in February showing Gaza filled with skyscrapers and luxury resorts, with him and Netanyahu relaxing next to a swimming pool.
The video was met with widespread criticism, in part because Palestinians were absent in the vision of a future Gaza and was posted after Trump stated the US would “take control” of the Gaza Strip and resettle Palestinians in other countries.
