It's interesting how much play Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich gets in social media. In real polls of Israelis, however, Smotrich's party doesn't cross the 3.2 percent threshhold needed to have a seat in the Knesset.

UNRWA should not come back to the Gaza Strip & should have no role in the enclave's future, if there's ever to be hope for rejuvenation, revitalization, and the permanent reconfiguration and reconstitution of Gaza's sociopolitical dynamics away from permanent war & "resistance."

Actually this is simply a map of the status quo, phase I of the Trump Peace Plan plus the five administrative districts of Gaza - as organized by the Palestinian Authority in the 1990s. Nothing sinister, despite the claim below.
This is the map of Gaza as projected on wall in new US “ceasefire HQ” in southern Israel. Gaza is split in two, with yellow under Israeli control. This is likely to be the new status quo. Also notice Gaza divided into 5 sections, the old “five finger strategy” to cantonise Gaza

We rejoice that the hostages are home--the tears come easily. We mourn for those whose loved ones did not come home alive--the tears come easily. That is the essence of life here in Israel, a powerful elixir of the bitter and the sweet. No one captured this better than Naomi

An @EconTalker gem with the #NobelPrize-winning Mokyr. Most important takeaway: don't fear the future; fear those who want to maintain the status quo.

I was released from Hamas captivity in January and I am a die hard fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv. I am shocked to my core with this outrageous decision to ban me, my family and my friends from attending an Aston Villa game in the UK. Football is a way of bringing people together
I welcome the news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be permitted to watch the match at Aston Villa! Well done to all those that signed our petition!

I call BS on this sign (and it's probably fake). It's not at all true that Muslims - a religious community of over 1 billion - don't like dogs. Bedouin Arabs cherish their hunting dogs. Dogs are popular pets in many Muslim-majority countries and many of my friends have dogs.
