Greece: Pro-Palestinian activists to protest outside Israeli Embassy in Athens May 12

Event

Pro-Palestinian activists are planning to gather outside the Israeli Embassy in Athens the evening of May 12 for a rally amid heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Participants will gather 18:00-19:00.

Authorities will deploy additional police to the vicinity of the protest. Increased security measures, including movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions on Marathonodromon until the protest has concluded. Clashes between security forces and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter breach security cordons.

Advice

Exercise caution around the march route and avoid the protest as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
