The controversial streamer admitted the post was a mistake after the Prime Minister's Office called it false. The post, which joked about discussing fitness with Netanyahu, was deleted after Israeli outlet Hazinor published photos of Clavicular with Netanyahu advisor Topaz Luk at a Tel Aviv nightclub.
Clavicular, the controversial streamer currently visiting Israel, deleted a social media post claiming he had recently spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Prime Minister's Office said the claim was false. The post, which joked about discussing fitness and muscle growth, was removed after Israeli outlet Hazinor published photos of Clavicular with Netanyahu advisor Topaz Luk at a Tel Aviv nightclub. Clavicular later acknowledged the mistake, attributing the post to a member of his team and saying it should have referred to Luk, not the prime minister.
The incident is the latest in a series of encounters during Clavicular's visit to Israel. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Hazinor first published photos of Clavicular with Luk at a club. Later that morning, Clavicular was removed from a separate club on Gordon Beach after allegedly provoking patrons by continuing to film after being asked to stop. In a livestream, he said his antisemitic followers are 'in shock' by his positive portrayal of Israel and reiterated his intention to relocate to Israel after retiring from streaming.
The false claim about speaking with Netanyahu drew a swift denial from the PMO, which called it false and stated Netanyahu had never spoken with Clavicular. The episode highlights the scrutiny surrounding Clavicular's visit, given his past associations with antisemitic figures and his recent efforts to rebrand himself as pro-Israel. No further incidents have been reported, and Clavicular's itinerary remains unclear.
