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 has been reported by Turkish media that Erdogan plans to reassert his call for Israel to cease its assaults in Gaza and advocate for a two-state resolution to the issue.
For the first time towards the end of Biden's term, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit the United States on May 9, as confirmed by a Turkish security representative on Friday.
The head of the Turkish MIT intelligence agency, Ibrahim Kalin, is scheduled to meet with members of the US House of Representatives this Friday, says Reuters. They plan to talk about Erdogan's upcoming visit and various other issues concerning both nations, according to an official.
Previously, it was extensively covered in the Turkish press that Erdogan was expected to visit the US, following an invitation from President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face encounter between the two leaders occurred at a NATO Summit in July, despite their regular communication through phone calls.
By chance, the relationship between the US and Turkey, which was strained due to Sweden's NATO application initially being rejected by Istanbul, has now normalized after Turkey's approval. Furthermore, the meeting is particularly important considering the recent Israel-Hamas conflict and the potential for it to escalate across the whole of Western Asia.
Reports from Turkish outlets also suggested that Erdogan would repeat his call for Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza and advocate for the two-state resolution to the issue.
Erdogan, on the other hand, has criticized the US for its consistent backing of Israel in its conflict with Hamas. In February of this year, the Turkish leader blamed the US for the ongoing failure of peace negotiations in the region, a conflict that erupted after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7 of the previous year.
Another crucial topic likely to dominate the discussions between the two leaders could be the selling of F-16s to Turkey and the upgrading and modernizing of jets they've already obtained.
