In other news from Davos, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked out of a panel discussion Thursday after a heated exchange with Israeli President Shimon Peres. Erdogan had tried to respond to Peres’s defense of Israel’s attack on Gaza.

Israeli President Shimon Peres: “What is there to fight? So the ceasefire is, as far as Israel is concerned, it is not a problem for us. We have never started, we shall never start fire. And when they fired against us, we replied, but after a great restraint, and thousands of people were killed too. They weren’t killed in a concentrated manner. So what? Doesn’t matter.”

Erdogan tried to respond but was cut off by debate moderator, Washington Post reporter David Ignatius. But he later angrily continued his response.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “You killed people. I remember the children who died on the beaches, and I remember two former prime ministers in your country who said they felt very happy when they were able to enter Palestinian territories in tanks, and they felt very satisfied with themselves. I find it very sad to see that people applaud what you have said, because there have been so many people who have been killed, and I think that it is very wrong, and it’s not humanitarian to applaud any actions that have had that kind of result.”
