“Palestinians will save our humanity,” says sister of Irish president, who was arrested by Israeli naval commandos aboard a boat bound for Gaza.
The sister of Ireland’s president was among activists detained by Israeli forces aboard a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip, prompting the Irish leader to express pride over her sister’s arrest.
Speaking to media after meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace in London on Monday, Irish President Catherine Connolly said she was “very proud of my sister but I’m also very worried about her.”
Connolly added that she had “been very busy today … I haven’t really had a chance to get details in relation to my sister and indeed, equally importantly, her colleagues on the boat.”
