The Walla news reported that in reaction to the petition, some protesters visited houses near Balfour Street on Thursday and distributed some 1,500 potted flowers to residents, with notes thanking their patience.
Netanyahu and his supporters strongly condemned the protesters, calling them “anarchists.”
Netanyahu is being tried for a series of cases in which he allegedly won generous gifts from billionaire friends and exchanged regulatory favors with media tycoons for a policy more favorable to him and his family. The prime minister has denied wrongdoing, accusing the media and law enforcement of a witch hunt since his office.
