The bodyguard of the new Pentagon chief is wearing a kippah
When the new U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset first arrived in his office, the gaze eyes of social network users were not rivened on him, but on his bodyguard in the kip.
Hegset arrived at the Pentagon on Monday and talked to the press before entering the building. "It is a great honor for me to serve for the benefit of my country," he said, JP reports.
Hegset was accompanied by private security, one of whose employees flaunted in a black kip, which indicated that he may be an Orthodox Jew. Social media users were surprised to see a security guard in a pile, and some said they had never seen such a thing in America before.
Hegset, a former Minnesota National Guard officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was sworn in as the head of the Pentagon by Vice President JD Vance on Saturday morning.
In a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, Hegset emphasized the "unbreakable connection" between the two countries. Hegset promised that "the United States will stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and be strictly committed to its security".
