Core Event
American internet personality Brayden Eric Peters, known online as “Clavicular,” conducted an 11-hour livestream from Tel Aviv in early July 2026. During the broadcast he appeared with Israeli influencer Shira Braun, who manages the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) international TikTok account. Braun identified herself as an IDF social-media manager and claimed the two were dating. The livestream drew immediate backlash, prompting the IDF to open an investigation into Braun’s conduct.
Background: Antisemitic Record and Israel’s Entry Controls
Peters has previously associated with white-supremacist figures such as Nick Fuentes and has been filmed singing “Heil Hitler” and giving a Nazi salute in Miami. He has also faced legal issues in the United States, including a firearm-discharge charge in Florida and a dropped drug-possession case in Arizona. Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism has recently urged the Population and Immigration Authority to bar individuals with documented antisemitic or anti-Israel activity. The ministry declined comment on why Peters was permitted entry, despite recent denials of entry to other controversial figures such as streamer Tyler Oliveira.
Key Participants
- Brayden Eric Peters (Clavicular) – U.S. “looksmaxxing” influencer with a history of antisemitic collaborations.
- Shira Braun – Israeli influencer and IDF international TikTok manager.
- Aaron Morali – Israeli “Love Island” alumnus who first reported Peters at the Loullie beach club.
- Golda Daphna – Orthodox Jewish influencer who posted recordings of Peters’ misogynistic remarks.
- Eden Sisson – Hasbara influencer warning Israeli women against appearing in Peters’ videos.
- Yoseph Haddad – Arab-Israeli activist calling for Peters’ deportation.
Official Statements & Responses
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said Braun “acted without authorization” and that “the soldier acted without coordination with her commanders, and her conduct does not meet the standards expected of IDF soldiers.” The unit added that the incident is under investigation and Braun will face disciplinary action.
The Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism reiterated its recent push to bar controversial figures but offered no explanation for Peters’ admission.
Criticism & Opposition
Pro-Israel influencers condemned the collaboration, arguing it legitimizes antisemitic behavior. Golda Daphna posted audio of Peters asking, “Does she want to have sex? Just tell the girls I’m looking to have sex in a bathroom,” and warned that anyone giving him a platform “has ended their career.” Eden Sisson urged, “Don’t give him the attention he’s looking for. If he approaches you with a camera, think twice before participating.” Hagar Amgar cautioned that brief footage could be edited and spread to millions. Yoseph Haddad publicly demanded Peters’ deportation.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
While the IDF confirmed Braun’s unauthorized participation, the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs declined to explain the decision to allow Peters entry, leaving the criteria for his admission unclear. Additionally, the Ministry’s recent recommendation to bar high-profile antisemitic figures contrasts with the lack of comment on this specific case.
