During the Israel-Hamas Conflict, Turkish President Erdogan to Visit US on May 9, Marking his First Visit During Biden's Administration
On May 9, President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey will be visiting the United States. Reports from Turkish media suggest that Erdogan will once again urge Israel to cease its assaults in Gaza and promote the two-state resolution to the issue.
For the first time during the end of Biden's term, Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit the United States on May 9, as announced by a Turkish security representative on Friday.
As per Reuters, the chief of the Turkish MIT intelligence agency, Ibrahim Kalin, is scheduled to have a meeting with members of the US House of Representatives on Friday. They plan to talk about the upcoming visit of Erdogan and other mutual concerns, said the official.
Previously, numerous Turkish news sources had extensively reported that Erdogan was due to visit the US at the request of President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face interaction between the two leaders occurred last July at a NATO Summit, although they have regularly been communicating by phone.
Interestingly, the relationship between the US and Turkey had been strained due to Sweden's attempt to join NATO, which was initially opposed by Istanbul. However, after Turkey gave its approval, the tensions eased and relations returned to a normal state. Additionally, this meeting is particularly important considering the recent war between Israel and Hamas, and the potential for this conflict to escalate across all of Western Asia.
Reports from Turkish media suggested that Erdogan was set to repeat his call for Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza and advocate for a two-state resolution to the conflict.
Erdogan has been expressing his criticism towards the US for its unflinching backing of Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Earlier this year in February, the Turkish leader blamed the US for the ongoing failure of the peace process in the region, since the war ignited when Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7 of the previous year.
Another significant topic likely to garner the focus of the two leaders could be the sale of F-16s to Turkey and the process of upgrading and modernizing the jets that have been purchased until now.
