Over one thousand Jerusalemites are gathering outside the President’s Residence in the capital, bundled in winter coats and hats, waving Israeli flags and placards, calling for the president, Isaac Herzog, to emerge.

The protest comes as thousands hold anti-government protests in Tel Aviv and Haifa
