In a post on X, Anand thanked Israeli firefighters for helping evacuate the Canadian, who was inside the building when it was hit during Iran’s recent attacks.
“She was eventually rescued, along with other occupants of the building, and is safe and sound,” Anand wrote.
Anand also said that she spoke with Israeli Foreign Minister Gidon Saar on Saturday and reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself against such attacks.
Iran and Israel have been trading fire since Israel’s unprecedented attack on Iranian nuclear and military targets on Friday. Iran launched a retaliatory missile strike toward Israel later that day.
