Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum on Thursday, red-faced from verbally sparring with President Shimon Peres over the recent fighting in Gaza.
Erdogan was angry after being cut off by a panel moderator after listening to an impassioned monologue by Peres defending Israel's recent 22-day offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Erdogan told Peres: "You are killing people."
