Higgins, expressed pride in his sister, Margaret Connolly, who was detained by Israeli forces while sailing to Gaza with an aid convoy. This incident occurred amidst already strained diplomatic ties between Ireland and Israel, with Israel previously closing its embassy in Dublin.

Israel characterized the flotilla as a provocation, while Irelands Department of Foreign Affairs is monitoring the situation. Connolly, in a pre-recorded message, stated she was being held illegally and emphasized the importance of the Palestinian cause for humanity.
