We arabs use the same gesture haha
In Israel, you generally use this gesture when you're annoyed or angry with someone - it means "hold your horses," "just a minute", "be patient" or even "wtf?" Apparently, not everyone uses it this way. I'm guessing this new emoji is going to be confusing.https://twitter.com/emanuelmaiberg/status/1222639094397833219 …

I assumed it was in general a Middle East gesture but haven't visited any Arab countries outside of Jordan

This has nothing to do with being angry. It literally means "just a second"
-
It really depends who is doing it and the context. Yes, it can be used in a polite way to mean just a second, but how many times have you seen someone in Israeli traffic using it without intending condescension, annoyance or anger?

Not necessary angry, sometimes it's literally "just a moment" (usually mouthing "wait a second" or just "second")
-
Well, I most often have seen it used in traffic, when Israelis are by default annoyed/angry. : )

They should make one with sparks coming out of the fingers to show movement - like with this
