Caitlyn Jenner in Tel Aviv amid Israel-Iran conflict, cancels Pride event
Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic athlete and reality TV star, is currently stranded in Tel Aviv, Israel, as the country's escalating conflict with Iran intensifies. Jenner had traveled to Israel to host the Tel Aviv Pride Parade, which was later canceled due to the ongoing violence between the two nations. Jenner shared an image of missiles with her followers on Instagram on Friday, captioning it, 'A 'quiet' night in Tel Aviv,' and expressing solidarity with the people of Israel. She added, 'There is not a place I'd rather be, than with the brave people of Israel. God, please continue to shield and protect us.' The 76-year-old, who publicly came out as transgender in 2015, had expressed excitement about her trip ahead of her departure. Posting a selfie before boarding her flight, Jenner wrote, 'What a special place. I'm here to stand with those who believe in hope, not hate.' However, with Israel's recent large-scale airstrikes on Iran targeting its nuclear program and military leaders, the conflict has escalated significantly. As of Saturday morning, at least two Iranian generals and three Israelis have been killed, while dozens more have been injured. In an interview Jenner revealed family's concern over her travelling to Israel on which she reassured them, saying she would be well taken care of. But due to the ongoing conflict, flights from the area remain suspended, and Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport is closed indefinitely making her return uncertain.

Caitlyn Jenner trapped in Israel, sends urgent message amid rising conflict
Reuters Caitlyn Jenner in Tel Aviv, Israel, June 11, 2025. REUTERS/Shir Torem Prominent American figures Caitlyn Jenner and CNN commentator Scott Jennings are currently in Israel during a period of heightened military tensions as Israel conducts strikes against Iran. Both, separately, are facing significant challenges in leaving the country due to the closure of Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv amid the escalating conflict. Jenner, who traveled to Israel as the guest of honor for the 2025 Tel Aviv Pride Parade, conveyed an urgent 12-word message to her daughter Kylie Jenner, reassuring her of her safety. In an interview on Israeli television, Jenner stated, "I communicated with my daughter Kylie, and she asked me to remain. I assured her, "Don't worry, I'll keep myself safe, and they'll take care of me." Jenner has been actively sharing her experiences and solidarity with Israel on social media. On June 12, she posted on X (formerly Twitter), "My heart is here, with the beautiful people, in @Israel,' accompanied by images depicting various scenes from Israel, including her visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The official State of Israel account also highlighted Jenner's presence at the Wall, noting her participation in local events and media interviews. Her visit, initially planned to celebrate Tel Aviv's Pride Parade, was disrupted by the outbreak of hostilities. The parade, scheduled for June 13, was canceled due to concerns over potential retaliatory attacks from Iran following Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites. Jenner expressed her heartfelt support for Israel in an Instagram post, stating, "My heart is with Israel now and forever. Evil shall not prevail!.' Scott Jennings, who was in Israel when the conflict escalated, reported being effectively trapped in the country due to the airport shutdown. From his hotel in Tiberius by the Sea of Galilee, Jennings described hearing missile attacks he attributed to Iranian retaliation. He shared a video on X showing what he believed were missile strikes and expressed strong support for Israel, emphasizing the existential nature of the conflict: "We are in a fight for Western civilization around the world. As I type this from Israel, it's abundantly clear they are in a fight for their very survival as a nation." The closure of Ben-Gurion Airport has left many travelers, including Jenner and Jennings, unable to depart Israel. The airport's official website posted a notice advising against traveling to the airport due to the cancellation of all flights amid the security situation.
