Netanyahu ally films himself ditching MAGA hat in outrage over Iran deal
Note: AI technology was used to generate this article’s audio.
A member of ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party publicly discarded a red MAGA hat symbolizing support for US President Donald Trump, replacing it with a cap reading “Total Victory” in a video that underscores deepening tensions between ‘Israel’ and the Trump administration following a US-Iran agreement.
In the clip, posted on social media, Likud Knesset member Hanoch Milwidsky, seated in his office beside an ‘Israeli’ flag, removes the MAGA hat and tosses it aside.
He then dons a blue cap bearing the Hebrew words for “Total Victory”—Netanyahu’s signature slogan for ‘Israel’s’ military objectives—and declares, “It’s not really appropriate anymore, is it? This is much better.”

The gesture comes days after Trump signed a preliminary memorandum of understanding with Iran.
The agreement aims to end recent hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, provide sanctions relief, and initiate further talks on Iran’s nuclear program over a 60-day period.
It also outlines potential reconstruction funding for Iran.
‘Israeli’ officials, including those in Netanyahu’s government, have criticized the deal as a “catastrophic capitulation” that fails to achieve key war aims, such as fully dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities or proxy networks. Netanyahu has indicated ‘Israel’ will pursue its objectives independently.
Milwidsky, a vocal Likud ally of Netanyahu, has a history of hardline positions on “security” issues.
The symbolic act highlights strains in the traditionally close Trump-Netanyahu relationship, as ‘Israel’ pushes for stronger measures against Iran despite US efforts toward de-escalation.
