Jennings, stuck indefinitely in Israel until airspace reopens, said Americans ‘need to understand what’s going on here is nothing short of the fight for Western civilization’

Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is stranded in Israel as the country exchanges airstrikes with Iran. Jennings was in the Jewish State to visit the site of the Oct. 7 attack and report on the Hamas hostages when Iran launched its retaliatory missile attack on Friday night.

Jennings, 47, had embarked on a trip to the region — his first — to tour major cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as kibbutz Nir Oz, where approximately one-quarter of its 400 residents were killed by Hamas in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, as well as the site of the Nova music festival massacre, where 378 were killed.
