The US embassy in Israel will boycott this year’s Tel Aviv Pride parade and will not host any Pride Month events of its own, marking a stark departure from previous years.

Transgender influencer and Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner is to be the guest of honor at the Pride event, which will take place on Friday.

Jenner, who arrived in Israel on Wednesday, told reporters at a press conference that she is doing her part to change people’s perceptions of the Jewish state.
