Dock workers at Greece's Piraeus Port have actively blocked multiple shipments of military-grade steel and equipment destined for Israel. The union of dock workers, Enedep, has publicly stated their refusal to unload what they describe as "murderous cargo" that could be used in attacks against civilians, including children, hospitals, and schools in Gaza. The protests began in early July 2025 and have included demonstrations at both Piraeus and Perama ports. Hundreds of Greek workers and activists have participated, emphasizing their stance against contributing to violence and what they term a genocidal war on Gaza. The workers have vowed not to handle any military shipments to Israel, highlighting their opposition to the Greek government's role in facilitating these transfers. The actions have involved blocking at least five ships carrying military steel, with union leaders declaring they will not unload any part of such cargo. These events reflect a coordinated effort by Greek dock workers and supporters to prevent the shipment of arms to Israel amid ongoing conflict in the region.
