Tension prevailed at an event at the 5th Thessaloniki International Book Fair, where the Israeli Embassy was scheduled to hold a discussion on: “Changing Landscapes of Jewish Literature”.
Before the debate started, tension was caused when about 150 people wearing headscarves and Palestinian flags intervened, shouting slogans such as: “Out with the killers” and “Freedom for Palestine”.
As a result, the event was cancelled.
