Bezalel Smotrich's views were once fringe in Israel. He's an ultranationalist West Bank settler, who has repeatedly called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip.
Today, as finance minister, he's a key figure influencing the future of Israel's war against Hamas.
NPR's Hadeel Al-Shalchi has the story of Smotrich's rise to power in Israel politics.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Running Government as a Business
We discuss the defense proffered by Elon Musk and his Doge team in a fascinating interview last night on Bret Baier's Fox show for their actions and why, while laudable, their efforts to apply "business" practices to government have been tried before and usually backfire. And why you shouldn't take the media assaults on Trump's deportations at face value. Give a listen.

Pod Save America - Trump 2.0’s Biggest Scandal Yet
Donald Trump and his goons continue to spin the group chat screw-up as totally routine—even as evidence mounts that the story is breaking through to average Americans and causing serious concern. Jon and Dan discuss the Republican reaction, why the White House won't admit to making a mistake, and how Democrats can take advantage of the situation. Plus, Trump deepens consumer misery with new tariffs on cars, the Associated Press fights for its right to cover the presidency, and JD and Usha Vance stage their own invasion of Greenland. Then, Jon sits down with Canadian actor and entrepreneur Jasmine Mooney, who was detained by ICE for 12 days without explanation, to talk about what it's really like to get caught up in America's cruel new enforcement system.

Consider This from NPR - The Southeastern U.S. faces a future with more wildfires
Six months ago, Southern Appalachia was devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Now, after a dry spell and a windy March — the region faces wildfires that are feeding on the downed trees and vegetation that the hurricane knocked to the forest floor.
The North Carolina Forest Service has declared one of them "the highest priority fire in the U.S."
And due to climate change and population growth, the Carolinas must anticipate a future with more fire danger.
Experts and first responders explain the current situation — and the way forward.
