Foreign Minister Gideon Saar spoke with his Greek counterpart Giorgos Gerapetritis and requested his intervention in trying to resolve the docking situation of the ship on Syros island. A large pro-Palestinian demonstration is taking place at the dock, and Israeli passengers are not permitted to disembark due to security concerns. The Foreign Ministry stated that "Israel's embassy in Greece is in contact with authorities regarding the ship and is monitoring the situation. Efforts are being made to ensure their safe disembarkation."
