Turkish premier storms out of Davos after run-in with Israeli president

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reproached Israeli president Shimon Peres over the Gaza offensive, saying "You kill people," continuing the abuse he has leveled against Israel in recent weeks.

Israeli president Shimon Peres said, raising his voice, Israel's 22-day offensive was launched in reaction to eight years of rocket fire.
Turning to Erdogan, who had said Israel had made Gaza an "open air prison," Peres asked: "What would you do! Why did they fire rockets? There was no siege against Gaza. There was never a day of starvation in Gaza."

The former Norwegian prime minister, Khell Magne Bondevik, said he had never seen Shimon Peres so passionate. I think he felt Israel was being attacked by so many in the international community. He felt isolated."
