Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday after a verbal exchange with President Shimon Peres over the fighting in Gaza. Erdogan was angry after being cut off by a panel moderator after listening to a speech by Peres defending Israel's recent counter-terror operation against Hamas.

Erdogan told Peres: "You are killing people." Peres told Erdogan that he would have done the same if rockets had been falling on Istanbul.
