Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday stormed out of a debate on the Gaza situation at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos.

"I do not think I will be coming back to Davos," Erdogan said angrily before leaving the debate, which also involved Israeli President Shimon Peres, UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, and Arab League Secretary-general Amr Mussa.

He complained that he was not given enough time to respond to what Peres said.

The moderator of the debate was David Ignatius of the Washington Post newspaper.
