Caitlyn Jenner Flees Israel via Jordan Amid Iran Missile Strikes
Caitlyn Jenner has fled Israel amid escalating tensions and missile attacks launched by Iran, cutting short her visit to the country where she had been invited as a guest of honour for Tel Aviv’s Pride parade.
The 75-year-old Olympic gold medalist and TV personality arrived in Israel last week but became caught in the unfolding security crisis triggered by Israeli military operations against Iranian targets.
Originally scheduled to return to Los Angeles on Saturday, Jenner’s plans were disrupted when international flights were suspended due to heightened military alerts and a nationwide state of emergency.
With commercial air travel suspended, Jenner’s team scrambled to secure an alternative route out of the country.
According to Israel Hayom, she was eventually evacuated through neighbouring Jordan before boarding a flight home to the U.S.
During her stay, Jenner experienced multiple air raid sirens and missile attacks. She took to social media to share support for Israel, posting on X (formerly Twitter):
“What an incredible way it has been to celebrate Shabbat. I am here in Israel, in Tel Aviv with you all. I am a friend, advocate, ally, and thank you to the Israeli people for making me family.”
“We will prevail and liberate the poor Iranian people held hostage by terrorist thugs!”
Jenner was part of a broader group of American visitors who were stranded as Israel’s airports shut down following Iran’s retaliatory missile barrage, which was launched in response to alleged Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The situation prompted emergency protocols and intensified regional fears of broader conflict.
