Defiant Caitlyn Jenner makes shock three-word remark on ill-advised Israel trip after fleeing missile attacks
Caitlyn Jenner defended her visit to Israel, despite ongoing missile attacks from Iran in a retaliatory effort. The 75-year-old Olympic Gold medalist said she has zero regret about spending time in the country amid violence, revealing 'I was proud.' 'I was proud to be in Israel, the past few days, including when the bombings started. I sheltered in place alongside Israelis and foreigners this included, Christians, Jews and Muslims,' Caitlyn said to TMZ. Caitlyn fled Israel on Saturday after seeking refuge in a bomb shelter while bombs rained down on Tel Aviv, as Iran retaliated for strikes on its nuclear sites. 'The unity and strength of the diverse spirit of all faiths and nationalities sheltering together as one people was a ceiling I can hardly explain without getting emotional. The best version of humanity was on display in the bunkers,' she added. Caitlyn even gave props to Donald Trump and the people of Israel - all the while criticizing former President Joe Biden. 'The spirit and strength of the Israeli people, and allies of Israel, specifically leaders like Donald Trump, have achieved a long overdue mission - the destruction and dismantling of the terrorist Iranian regime. 'The Iranian people deserve to be liberated from these terrorists, and the world is much safer without their violent terrorist government,' noting that she did not have 'one ounce of regret or fear' for being in the country. She called Biden's administration as 'pro-Iran' and 'anti-Israel. Her statement comes after she was pictured guzzling wine while inside a bomb shelter with Israeli influencer Regev Gur. Caitlyn fled Israel Saturday amid ongoing missile attacks from Iran. The Olympic gold medalist, 75, departed the area, after sharing snippets of her trip via social media, according to the Times of Israel. The Mount Kisco, New York-born celebrity said on X Saturday: '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!' The I Am Cait star praised President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a subsequent tweet. 'The leadership by @IsraeliPM Bibi, and Israel's closest ally President @realDonaldTrump will not allow this reckless violence towards so many continue. Israeli jets overhead in Iran now. (Bye bye terrorists),' she said. 'We will liberate Iran's citizens Thank you to all allies! PEACE FOR ALL!' She wrote Friday: 'A 'quiet' night in Tel Aviv. There is not a place I'd rather be, than with the brave people of Israel. God, please continue to shield and protect us.' 'We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran.' The posts came as a group of Americans visiting Israel - including the former Olympian and conservative commentator - were prevented from leaving the country on Friday, as the military strike against Iran and the ensuing retaliatory effort locked down the nation's airports. Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing several top generals - including nine senior scientists and experts involved in the program, Associated Press reported. Thursday's attack also claimed the lives of 78 people and left more than 320 wounded, according to an Iranian official. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei vowed to 'inflict heavy blows' in a threat to civilians in Tel Aviv as he blamed Israel for starting the war, while Benjamin Netanyahu warned 'more is on the way'.
