* Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stalked off the stage at the World Economic Forum red-faced after a sharp exchange with Israeli President Shimon Peres over the fighting in Gaza, calling it "very wrong" and saying "many people have been killed."
The incident came Thursday after a lengthy debate at the forum in Davos, Switzerland, about the recent Israeli offensive that claimed about 1,300 Palestinian lives.
David Ignatius the journalist from the Washington post was moderating the case for the Middle East’s Peace discussion in this year " world Economic forum ".
Erdogan tried to rebut Peres as the discussion was ending, asking the moderator, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, to let him speak once more.
"Only a minute," Ignatius replied.
Erdogan said in Turkish that "I remember two former prime ministers in your country who said they felt very happy when they were able to enter Palestine on tanks."
"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," he said.
Ignatius said "We can't start the debate again. We just don't have time."
Erdogan said "Please let me finish." Ignatius responded "We really do need to get people to dinner."
The Turkish premier 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."

كان شيمعون بيريز عصبياٌ جداٌ في المؤتمر وبدا وكأنه يوجد بينه وبين الرئيس التركي رجب طيب أردوغان خلافات فيما وراء الكواليس ، بالطبع أسعدني تصرف أردوغان بقدر ما سائني تصرف عمرو موسى ، غضب رجب أردوغان وإنسحابة من المؤتمر لمنعه من التعقيب على كلام الإرهابي بيريز هو غضب لكل من سالت دمائهم من أطفال ورجال ونساء غزة ، وبرغم أن العلاقات الإسرائيلية التركية أكثر متانة من علاقات أغلب العرب سواء في السر أو العلن مع الكيان الصهيوني إلا أن هذا لم يكن له أي تأثير على قلب وضمير رئيس الوزراء التركي ورغم علمه بما يمكن أن يواجهه في تركيا خاصة من الجيش نتيجة هذا الموقف . ما قام به أردوغان هو فعل الرجال الاحرار وكشف في ذات الوقت مواقف أنصاف الرجال من حكامنا العرب الذين أدمنوا الخضوع والذل . ولحين ظهور أردوغان آخر في وطننا العربي ... شكراٌ لرجب طيب أردوغان المسلم التركي . ب

فخامة أفندينا المبجل
إن أسوأ ما فعله أردوغان، هو ان فضح الآخرين. وبين لكل ذي عينين أن ما فعله ممكن.
ولكنه مممكن فقط إذا كنت تستند إلى قاعدة شعبية قوية في داخل بلدك. أما إذا كنت تتعلق بأوهام الدعم الخارجي والدولي، فلعل في مصير الشاه، وبرويز مشرف وغيرهم عبرة لمن يريد أن يعتبر
تحياتي
