Muslim world showers praise on Turkish PM
GAZA CITY (AFP) - Hamas led the cheers from the Muslim world Friday for Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan after he stormed out of an international debate on the Gaza war with Israeli President Shimon Peres.

The group, which rules the tiny Palestinian territory, paid tribute to Erdogan’s “courageous stand” after he angrily left the discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday. Erdogan “directly defended the victims of the criminal Zionist war against our children and women in Gaza,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said in a statement.

“We consider his departure from the room an expression of support for the victims of the Holocaust carried out by the Zionists,” he said.

Senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya also showered Erdogan with praise and compared him to Sultan Mehmed II who conquered Constantinople in 1453, bringing an end to the Byzantine Empire.

“The Palestinian people, the resistance and Hamas salute you, Erdogan,” Hayya told a rally in Gaza City, during his first public appearance since the end of Israel’s offensive on Gaza.
