Turkish PM walks out on Davos over Gaza



Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, frustrated that he didn’t have enough time at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to tell Israeli President Shimon Peres what he really thought about Israel’s invasion of Gaza and Peres’ commens, walked off the stage and said he didn’t expect to return.

The two have been invited to a joint press conference; Erdogan left Davos attendees stunned.

Since Turkey has long been a top ally of Israel in the Muslim world, the “stun” factor is understandable.
