Minister of Foreign Affairs of the occupying Israeli regime, David Levy, who came to Turkey during the prime ministership of National Vision leader Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan faced a great shock. When Erbakan gave Levy a last-minute appointment, he asked his guest to withdraw from the Palestinian lands they occupied. Erbakan's refusal to shake hands with Levy was another important detail, emphasizing that his meeting with the Zionist regime's Foreign Minister was due to the necessity of complying with the government program. Erbakan, had ignored the question of the press members “Can we view your handshake with the visiter minister?”
ULTIMATE FROM ERBAKAN TO LEVY

Levy, who was given an appointment at the last moment by Erbakan on the grounds of complying with the government program, was faced with an ultimatum-like request from Erbakan. In this context, Erbakan, who welcomed Levy very coldly, said, “Israel should comply with the United Nations (UN) resolution and withdraw from the occupied lands as soon as possible. On the other hand, it should immediately abandon the projects of building new settlements on the occupied lands and in various regions of Jerusalem, as per the UN resolutions."
