'There is nowhere I would've rather been' Caitlyn Jenner has no regrets about Israel visit
Caitlyn Jenner says there is "nowhere I would have rather been" than Israel in recent days, despite the country coming under attack. The 75-year-old star was in Tel Aviv to attend the city's Pride Parade, but the event was subsequently cancelled after Israel and Iran exchanged missile attacks over the weekend. It came after Israel first attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and missile sites on Friday (13.06.25). Despite the attacks, Caitlyn insists she doesn't regret her journey to Israel. She wrote on X: "My heart is with the nation and people of Israel. Many people are asking if I regret or second guess my journey to Israel and being there while we were attacked. Simple answer- NO. There is nowhere I would have rather been. (sic)" During her time in Israel, Caitlyn sipped red wine in a Tel Aviv bomb shelter as she and others took cover. The former Olympian admitted she doesn't have "one ounce of regret or fear in being in Israel over the past few days", and is "proud" to have visited the country. She told TMZ: "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. "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. "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." Caitlyn hasn't confirmed if she has fled the country, but The Times of Israel reported she booked a flight back to Los Angeles via neighbouring Jordan on Sunday (15.06.25).

Caitlyn Jenner escapes Israel amid war with Iran after attending Tel Aviv Pride events
ALBAWABA - Caitlyn Jenner flees Israel by land as war with Iran escalates and airspace remains closed. Olympic gold medalist and transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner was able to flee Israel on Sunday during the fast-intensifying armed war with Iran, which is currently in its fourth day. The city's LGBT pride celebrations were canceled after Israel launched a series of raids on Tehran on Friday, killing key military officials and nuclear scientists and destroying multiple nuclear sites. Jenner, 75, had been in Tel Aviv as the city's honored guest. Iran retaliated with a volley of ballistic missiles directed at densely populated areas in cities such as Tel Aviv and Haifa, closing all airspace. The Times of Israel reported that Jenner managed to escape the nation by land and enter neighboring Jordan, whose airspace has been sometimes open and sometimes closed during the conflict. US media personality Caitlyn Jenner (C) (Photo by Andrew thomas / AFP) Jenner intends to take a plane back to Los Angeles from there. The Hollywood Reporter was unable to promptly verify Jenner's activities with her reps in Los Angeles. As part of a widely reported goodwill tour, Jenner touched down at Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday. The Israeli government welcomed her during its three-year war with Hamas. She expressed her support for Israel and its people in a number of posts she wrote during the missile attacks. "What a wonderful Shabbat celebration it has been. I'm in Tel Aviv, Israel, with all of you. "I am an ally, friend, and supporter," Jenner wrote on X. Jenner shared a powerful image of Tel Aviv's skies illuminated by the Iron Dome defense system catching Iranian rockets on Instagram. A night in Tel Aviv that was "quiet." I would rather be with the courageous Israelites than somewhere else. "God, please keep us safe and protected," the caption said. Gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner (/AFP) Israeli influencer Regev Gur posted a picture of Jenner in a bomb shelter, sipping a glass of red wine. Gur wrote, "What did you do during the alerts, since I'm having wine with Caitlyn?" Later, he removed the post. As IDF war jets blasted overhead on Friday, CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, another well-known American stuck in the battle, spoke to THR from his hotel room in Tiberias. As the war continues, Jennings stays in Israel. He has since moved to Jerusalem after the interview. He posted a video of approaching missiles amidst thick smoke and screaming air raid sirens in his most recent post on X. Jennings writes, "Last night, 4am footage from Jerusalem." You can hear the boom and occasionally feel the shaking when these intercepts occur. Please offer up prayers for the Israelis who were killed and wounded by Iranian missile strikes. Reuters reports that Iran's reaction has killed at least 24 Israelis and injured 500 more. Ninety percent of the 224 verified deaths, according to the Iranian authorities, were civilians. Throughout the night and into Monday morning, there have been many reports of loud explosions throughout Tehran. Citing impending action, the IDF has issued evacuation advisories to multiple districts.

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'.
