During the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to visit the US on May 9, marking his first visit during Biden's administration. It is reported by Turkish media that Erdogan plans to repeat his call for Israel to cease its assaults in Gaza and to advocate for a two-state resolution to the issue.
For the first time since Biden took office, Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit the United States on May 9, as confirmed by a Turkish security official on Friday.
Reuters reports that the chief of the Turkish MIT intelligence agency, Ibrahim Kalin, is scheduled to have a meeting with members of the US House of Representatives this Friday. They plan to talk about Erdogan's upcoming visit as well as other matters concerning both nations, stated the official.
Previously, numerous Turkish news sources had extensively covered Erdogan's planned visit to the US, which came about as a result of an invitation from President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face encounter between these two leaders took place last July at a NATO Summit, even though they have been regularly communicating through phone calls.
Interestingly, the relationship between the US and Turkey had been strained due to Sweden's attempt to join NATO, which was initially opposed by Turkey. However, relations have since normalized after Turkey gave their approval. Moreover, the meeting becomes particularly important considering the recent war between Israel and Hamas and the potential for the conflict to escalate throughout the entire Western Asia region.
Reports from Turkish media indicated that Erdogan was expected to repeat his call for Israel to cease its assaults on Gaza and advocate for a two-state resolution to the conflict.
Erdogan, on the other hand, has expressed disapproval of the US's unyielding backing of Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Earlier this year in February, the Turkish leader blamed the US for the thus far unsuccessful peace efforts in the area, which began after Hamas launched an assault on Israel on October 7 the previous year.
Another significant topic anticipated to dominate the discussion between the two leaders is likely to be the purchase of F-16s by Turkey and the upgrade-modernization procedure for jets obtained thus far.
