The IDF soldier who was seen on controversial influencer Clavicular’s stream was formally reprimanded by the IDF and has been removed from her position and demoted to a cook, N12 reported on Monday.
Braden Peters, better known as Clavicular, is a prominent “looksmaxxing” influencer who has made several public antisemitic comments, including appearing alongside the white supremacist Nick Fuentes singing Ye’s “Heil Hitler.”
During his visit to Tel Aviv, which has drawn condemnation from many Israelis calling for his removal, Peters was seen streaming alongside Shira Braun, an IDF soldier in the Spokesperson's Unit.
Braun appeared on several of Peters’s broadcasts, and he made several moves to touch or kiss her on camera, even commenting that he would take her to a hotel room.
Braun reportedly showed Clavicular the military's official TikTok on her phone
In turn, Braun shared a post on her since-deleted Instagram where she taught the influencer an acro-yoga move, which was seen by nearly half a million users before being removed.
Most importantly, she showed Peters the IDF's official TikTok page on her phone, leading to her reported removal from the unit.
Peters claimed that Braun was “the IDF’s social media manager,” but there is no one person who holds the title.
Additionally, the IDF has not confirmed if Braun was an official administrator of its social media, but the TikTok account is run by multiple soldiers in the Spokesperson’s Unit.
"The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, and disciplinary measures will be determined accordingly once it concludes,” the IDF stated.
“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."
Clavicular may be leaving Israel, but the trouble he caused remains
Peters announced that he would be leaving Israel after an interview with Channel 13 where he was asked if he "came here to apologize."
"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," he said, and left the interview early.
While he is on his way out, the girls who appeared on his streams, Braun and Israeli influencer Shira Klein, have been left to deal with the consequences of meeting with him on his visit.
In addition to Braun potentially losing her position, she received hate messages and threats on her life, with people messaging her "too bad you weren't raped and killed at Nova," and "you wh**e, you escort, they'll slaughter you, we'll throw a party over your pieces."
Klein took to social media to say she hadn’t known Peters was antisemitic prior to his visit, and said she had been contacted by an influencer in the hasbara community about “showing the world the 'real Israel.’"
