Turkish PM's wife says Shimon Peres lied in Davos
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's wife Emine Erdogan said on Thursday that Israeli president Shimon Peres lied at the tense Gaza in Davos.
“Everything (Israeli President Simon) Peres said was lie,” Emine Erdogan told reporters in Davos after she burst into tears.
Tayyip Erdogan stormed out of an angry debate on the Gaza war with Peres at the Davos forum on Thursday. Erdogan said his reaction targeted the moderator of the session not Peres or the Israeli people.
Emine Erdogan organized earlier this month an Istanbul meeting entitled "Women for peace in Palestine” in which first ladies from Muslim countries condemned the Israeli offensive on Gaza and called on the international community to end the suffering of women and children there.
