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.
Since Turkey has long been a top ally of Israel in the Muslim world, the “stun” factor is understandable.
Erdogan added that he was frustrated in part because he thought, before the Gaza invasion, that he was close to a deal with Israeli PM EHud Olmert over Syrian issues.
