An Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier who appeared in streams with controversial influencer Clavicular has been formally reprimanded and demoted to a cook, according to N12.
Braden Peters, known as Clavicular, is a "looksmaxxing" influencer who has publicly made antisemitic remarks and appeared with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. During his visit to Tel Aviv, Peters streamed with Shira Braun, an IDF soldier in the Spokesperson's Unit. Braun appeared in multiple broadcasts with Peters, who made advances toward her on camera.
The soldier acted without coordination with her commander, and her conduct does not align with what is expected of IDF soldiers. The incident is under investigation, and the soldier will face disciplinary action.
Crucially, Braun showed Peters the IDF's official TikTok page on her phone. While Peters claimed Braun was the IDF's social media manager, the account is managed by multiple soldiers. The IDF stated that the soldier acted without coordination and her conduct does not align with expectations. The incident is under investigation, and disciplinary action will follow.
Braun also shared a now-deleted Instagram post teaching Peters an acro-yoga move, which garnered nearly half a million views. Peters announced he is leaving Israel after an interview where he was called rude. However, Braun and another Israeli influencer, Shira Klein, who also appeared in his streams, are facing consequences.
This is the most ridiculous thing ever. I just woke up, and I don't want to be talking to someone who is going to be rude. Because I'm here to do good things.
