Caitlyn Jenner Sparks Backlash As She Says 'Bye Bye Terrorists' After Escaping War Zone In Israel

Caitlyn Jenner has safely exited Israel amid intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, now entering its fourth consecutive day.

The 75-year-old transgender activist and Olympic gold medalist was in Tel Aviv as a guest of honor for the city's annual gay pride festivities, an event that was abruptly canceled as hostilities escalated.

On Friday, Israel launched a series of targeted airstrikes on Tehran, reportedly killing senior military officials and nuclear scientists and destroying several Iranian nuclear facilities. In retaliation, Iran fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, prompting widespread panic and an immediate shutdown of Israeli airspace.

Despite the growing chaos, Caitlyn Jenner managed to escape by land, crossing into neighboring Jordan, a country whose airspace has been intermittently closed due to the ongoing regional conflict.

According to The Times of Israel, Jenner is now en route back to Los Angeles.

Jenner addressed the situation on social media before her departure, 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!”

In a follow-up post, Jenner praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, writing, “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’s comments have sparked a mix of praise and controversy online, as international leaders and human rights groups call for de-escalation and protection of civilians caught in the crossfire.

"STFU YOU DISGUSTING THING," one X user responded.

"Just when you thought she couldn't be any more dislikable," another said.

"Stay in Israel," a third wrote.

Others sided with Jenner. "I do hope so," someone said. "A wish for PEACE FOR ALL from New Zealand."

"Truth!!" another wrote.

"You are a stand-up champion for Israel and the free world with moral clarity and integrity!" someone else said. "So appreciated!"

The conflict has already resulted in significant casualties.

According to Reuters, at least 24 Israelis have died, with over 500 injured due to Iran's counterattacks. Iranian officials report 224 deaths on their side, claiming that 90 percent of the victims were civilians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue his country’s military campaign, stating that Israel is moving to eliminate “threats” posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile facilities.

The strikes on Monday were part of Israel’s broader response to what it claims is mounting evidence that Tehran is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb.

Meanwhile, Iran’s government announced that its parliament is preparing a bill to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), a landmark international agreement aimed at curbing the spread of nuclear weapons.

Though the proposal is still in the early stages, the move has already alarmed Western nations who have long suspected Iran’s nuclear ambitions, an accusation Tehran has repeatedly denied.

“The government has to enforce parliament bills, but such a proposal is just being prepared,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said during a press conference, per Reuters. “We will coordinate in the later stages with parliament.”

The potential withdrawal from the NPT would likely trigger significant geopolitical consequences and increase pressure on global diplomatic efforts to contain Iran’s nuclear program.

With dozens killed and hundreds wounded across both countries, international leaders and human rights organizations are calling for immediate de-escalation to prevent further loss of life and potential regional destabilization.

Netanyahu has warned that Israel’s military operations will intensify in the coming days, setting the stage for what could become a broader and more devastating confrontation in the Middle East.

As the violence intensifies, residents in Tehran have reported hearing multiple explosions overnight and into Monday morning. Israel's Defense Forces have issued evacuation warnings to several districts in anticipation of further strikes.
