During the conflict between Israel and Hamas, President Erdogan of Turkey is scheduled to be in the US on May 9, marking his first visit during Biden's administration. Reports from Turkish press suggest that Erdogan is expected to express his call for Israel to cease its assaults in Gaza, and advocate for a two-state resolution to the ongoing issue.
For the first time during the end of Biden's presidency, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to visit the U.S. on May 9, according to a Turkish security representative who stated this on Friday.
Reuters reports that the chief of Turkey's MIT intelligence agency, Ibrahim Kalin, is set to have a meeting with members of the US House of Representatives this Friday. They will talk about the upcoming visit of Erdogan and other matters concerning both countries, as stated by an official.
Previously, it was broadly covered by the Turkish press that Erdogan was expected to visit the US following an invite from President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face interaction between the two leaders took place during a NATO Summit in July, even though they have been regularly communicating through phone calls.
Interestingly, the relationship between the US and Turkey had been tested due to Sweden's attempt to join NATO, which was originally hindered by Turkey. However, things have since returned to usual after Turkey gave their approval. Furthermore, the gathering is particularly important considering the recent war between Israel and Hamas, as well as the potential for the conflict to escalate throughout all of Western Asia.
Reports from Turkish outlets also suggested that Erdogan would repeat his call for Israel to cease hostilities in Gaza and endorse the two-state resolution to the conflict.
Erdogan has expressed disapproval towards the US for its steadfast backing of Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Earlier this year in February, the president of Turkey blamed the US for the stalled peace talks in the region since the onset of the war, which was initiated by a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 of the previous year.
A significant topic likely to dominate the discussions between the two leaders would be the transaction of F-16s to Turkey and the enhancement and modernization procedure for jets obtained thus far.
