CAIRO, (PIC)-- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his deep desire to visit the besieged Gaza Strip as he has kicked off a tour of Arab Spring states in Egypt, but he said he did not want to burden the Egyptians with the visit.

He said that it was one of his greatest desires to visit Gaza, adding that he said to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas "Let us go together to Gaza .. the three of us (Erdogan, Abbas and Haneyya)".

Erdogan appeared on Egypt’s Dream TV Monday night, declaring “my spirit is with you and I have hope that my body will be with you, but I don’t want to burden the Egyptians with my visit to Gaza,” in a statement directed at the people of Gaza.

Building credit

Also in the recorded meeting, Erdogan defended his verbal clash in 2009 with Israeli President Shimon Peres at Davos, saying the move was in support of what was right and that Israel was not working for peace.

Erdogan went on to further criticize Israel, calling it the “West’s spoiled child”.

“To this day it has never executed a decision by the international community,” the PM said.

He added that it is no longer possible to restore relations with Israel, and that Turkey is seeking to freeze all agreements with the occupying regime.

But he said he was still seeking an apology over the death of nineTurks in Israel’s lethal attack on the Freedom Flotilla last year, as well as compensation for the casualties and an end to the Gaza siege.

He also vowed to petition for the Gazans in the International Court of Justice.

Prime Minister Erdogan arrived in Cairo Monday evening, accompanied by his wife, his daughter, and seven members of the Turkish Cabinet. He was received at Cairo International Airport by his Egyptian counterpart Essam Sharaf, who also appeared with his wife, as well as others.
