Caitlyn Jenner has reportedly left Israel after being stuck in Tel Aviv for days due to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
The TV personality, 75, was there to host the Tel Aviv Pride Parade, which was cancelled after the June 13 airstrike.
She is now thought to have left the country by land to neighbouring Jordan, according to the Times of Israel, so she can board a flight and return home to the US.
‘What an incredible way it has been to celebrate Shabbat,’ she posted on X. ‘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!’
This mimicked an address made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed to free Iranians from an ‘evil, repressive regime’.
Iran’s UN Security Council representative Amir-Saeid Iravani accused Israel of a ‘chilling display of calculated aggression’ in an emergency meeting.
The conflict escalated after an IDF spokesperson said they had targeted a nuclear plant in Iran, as Netanyahu said he wanted to remove nuclear and ballistic missile ‘threats’ from the neighbouring country.
Jenner, who publicly transitioned in 2015, became trapped in the middle of the warzone after flying out for the Pride parade.
Israel currently does not allow same-sex marriage but every June since 2019, a week-long series of LGBTQ+ friendly events takes place in Tel Aviv.
This year, the former Olympian was due to host the parade but it was cancelled at the last minute.
However, Jenner was unable to leave as Israel had grounded flights and shut down Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport.
While she was stuck in the city on Friday, she shared pictures of the missiles flying overhead, writing that it was a ‘quiet night’ in Tel Aviv.
In another post, the controversial US celebrity praised President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
She said: ‘The leadership by @IsraeliPM Bibi, and Israel’s closest ally President @realDonaldTrump will not allow this reckless violence towards so many to continue. Israeli jets overhead in Iran now. (Bye bye terrorists).
‘We will liberate Iran’s citizens. Thank you to all allies! Peace for all!’
Jenner was at one point moved into a bomb shelter and posted a picture of herself and conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings, seeming in good spirits.
One picture showed the former Kardashians star with a glass of wine in hand as she smiled with Regev Gur, an Israeli influencer.
Metro has reached out to Jenner’s team for comment.
