Continuing on the same topic, Ira recalled receiving an Instagram reel about her cousin's potential detention.

As soon as I realised that she was safe I went back to work." Ira added that she didn't say anything because she didn't realise that her speaking up would make a difference."So, if me not speaking up at this point implied in any manner that I don't care, then I am sorry that was not my intention," she added.
