The banner was taken down following the intervention of security guards. It was reported that those who unfurled the banner were taken into custody.

THEY CONTINUED TO REACT UNTIL HE ENTERED HIS VEHICLE

Meanwhile, as Özhaseki and Varank were walking toward their vehicle, a citizen said, "We are ashamed of the trade with Israel; the government should listen to the voice of this people. Trade with Israel is a betrayal of Palestine. We condemn you. Show some sensitivity."
