Yair Netanyahu tweeted on Thursday the personal addresses of the organizers of the demonstrations taking place in front of the prime minister's home and called for demonstrations in front of the homes of the demonstrators.
“I invite everyone to demonstrate, day and night, in front of the houses of these people who organize anarchy in our country,” he tweeted.

For many weeks, demonstrations have been taking place almost daily in Israel, especially in front of the home of the prime minister indicted in November 924 for corruption, fraud and breach of trust in three cases, the first for an Israeli head of government while in office.
The protesters shout their fed up with Mr. Netanyahu and denounce the government's mismanagement of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Judge Dorit Feinstein demanded that the tweet be deleted and added in her decision that Yair Netanyahu must “stop harassing the organizers of the protests for six months and no longer publish their private addresses”.
In reaction, the son of the Prime Minister, 29 years old and familiar with provocations on social networks , published a tweet reproaching the judge for not having taken into account “the death threats including [il est] the victim”.
His father for his part denounced in a press release the “acts of violence and harassment of all”.
Speaking at the start of the weekly Council of Ministers, Netanyahu accused the local press of mobilizing against him, comparing it to the press in North Korea.
“I do not hear any condemnation from the media against the violent nature of the protests. Instead of covering the demonstrations, the press is mobilizing in favor of the protesters ”, he denounced.
On Saturday, his party, Likud, said on Twitter that the media “are desperately trying to intoxicate the public, in order to bring down a strong right-wing prime minister.”
