The Turkish prime minister, Mr. Erdogan, stormed out of a heated debate at the World Economic Forum in Davos after slamming the position of Israeli President, Mr. Shimon Peres, over Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked out of the televised debate on Thursday, after the moderator refused to allow him to rebut the Israeli president's justification about the war that left about 1,300 Gazans dead.

Before storming out, Erdogan told Shimon Peres, the Israeli president: "You are killing people."

Peres told Erdogan during the heated panel discussion that he would have acted in the same manner if rockets had been falling on Istanbul.

Moderator David Ignatius, a Washington Post columnist, then told Erdogan that he had "only a minute" to respond to a lengthy monologe by Pires.

Erdogan said: "I find it very sad that people applaud what you said. There have been many people killed. And I think that it is very wrong and it is not humanitarian."

Ignatius twice attempted to finish the debate, saying, "We really do need to get people to dinner."

Erdogan then said: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I don't think I will come back to Davos after this."

@MrTsadik oh i know politics alright, you know why erdogan got mad? because israel special forces killed humanitarian aid in the flotilla accident that was delivering relief goods to the oppressed palestinians. of course muslim would help another muslim. and you got it wrong, israel is the one who wants to dominate the middle east, they start wars against every muslim country and even threatens to go to war with iran, you kidding me? israel cant even handle its own problems in the west bank...

@13elsyd13 It is normal fo Turkey to have balls since they are so many, armed and dangerous! It is a world threat because the daily bread that we enjoy today might be our last if this country starts the islamisation of the west as it has made tentatives in the past! Beware my brother because PEACE is always put apart in this world and is always in question nowadays. "A message that can bring peace is worth a thousand words!"
