During the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to be in the US on May 9, marking his first visit during the Biden administration. Reports from Turkish media suggest that Erdogan plans to emphasize his call for Israel to halt the attacks in Gaza and propose a two-state resolution to the ongoing issue.
For the first time during the end of Biden's administration, 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 Turkey's MIT intelligence agency, Ibrahim Kalin, is slated to meet with members of the US House of Representatives on Friday. They plan to talk about Erdogan's forthcoming visit and other matters concerning both nations, according to an official.
Previously, it was broadly covered by Turkish news agencies that a trip to the US was planned for Erdogan, following an invitation from President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face encounter between these two world leaders took place last July during a NATO Summit, however, they have maintained regular phone communication.
By chance, the relationship between the US and Turkey had been strained due to Sweden's attempt to join NATO, a move initially opposed by Istanbul. However, this tension eased after Turkey gave its approval. Furthermore, this meeting is particularly important considering the recent war between Israel and Hamas, and the potential for the conflict to escalate across the entirety of West Asia.
Reports from Turkish news outlets also suggested that Erdogan was expected to repeat his call for Israel to cease its assaults in Gaza and advocate for the two-state resolution to the conflict.
Erdogan, on the other hand, has expressed disapproval of 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 so far unsuccessful peace negotiations in the area since the onset of the war, which began after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7 of the previous year.
One significant topic predicted to dominate the discussion between the two leaders would be Turkey's purchase of F-16s and the modernization process of the jets they have obtained thus far.
