The Foreign Ministry on Sunday warned Israelis in Greece to lie low and avoid displays that give away their identity, with dozens of anti-Israel protests set to take place across the country.<\/p>\n

A group of pro-Palestinian organizations were planning a \u201cday of rage\u201d over the Gaza war in dozens of locations across Greece, focusing on sites that Israeli tourists regularly visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the expected scale of the protests and the possibility of large gatherings and disturbances, the Foreign Ministry recommends that Israeli citizens in Greece exercise increased vigilance, stay away from protest sites and large gatherings, and avoid any friction or confrontation with demonstrators,\u201d the ministry stated in a special travel warning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is recommended to keep Israeli and Jewish identifying symbols discreet and to avoid posting your location in real time on social media,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n

The warning came with masses of Israeli vacationers in the country, a top tourist destination, for peak travel season. Nearly 50 flights were set to leave from Ben-Gurion Airport to Greece on Sunday alone, according to data from the Israel Airports Authority.<\/p>\n

In its announcement of the planned protests, BDS Greece \u2013 a group advocating a boycott of, divestment from, and sanctions against Israel \u2013 wrote on Facebook that it would \u201cfill the entire country with Palestinian flags, keffiyehs, and slogans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been more than 1,000 days of genocide in Gaza, while in the West Bank, occupation, attacks, and the seizure of Palestinian land continue,\u201d the group wrote.<\/p>\n

Israel strongly rejects accusations of genocide in its war against the Hamas terror group, which began when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. Most fighting in the Strip ended with an October 2025 ceasefire.<\/p>\n

In its post, BDS Greece called on Greece to impose an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel, and end all military cooperation between the two countries, among other demands.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Ministry also warned Israelis in Greece about the same day of action last year, which came and went<\/a> without a major incident.<\/p>\n
