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 presidency. Reports from Turkish media suggest that Erdogan will use this visit to once again demand that Israel cease its attacks on Gaza and propose a two-state resolution to the ongoing issue.
For the first time since the onset of Biden's presidency, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit the United States on May 9, according to a Turkish security official who announced this on Friday.
Reuters reports that Ibrahim Kalin, the chief of Turkey's MIT intelligence agency, is set to have a meeting with members of the US House of Representatives this Friday. They will talk about Erdogan's upcoming visit and other matters concerning both nations, as stated by an official.
Previously, numerous Turkish news sources had announced that President Erdogan was set to visit the US at the request of President Joe Biden. The most recent face-to-face interaction between the two leaders took place last July at a NATO Summit, but they have maintained regular phone conversations.
By the way, the relationship between the US and Turkey was strained due to Sweden's attempt to join NATO, which was initially opposed by Istanbul. However, the tension eased once Turkey gave its approval. Furthermore, the meeting is of considerable importance due to the recent war between Israel and Hamas and the potential for escalated conflict throughout Western Asia.
Reports from Turkish media suggested that Erdogan was expected to repeat his call for Israel to cease its attacks in Gaza, and advocate for a two-state resolution to the issue.
Erdogan, on the other hand, has expressed disapproval of the US for its unyielding backing of Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Earlier this year, in February, the President of Turkey blamed the US for the stalled peace process in the region since the commencement of the war, triggered by an attack from Hamas on Israel on October 7 of the previous year.
Another crucial topic anticipated to dominate the discussions between the two leaders could be Turkey's purchase of F-16s and the modernization and enhancement of the jets they have obtained to date.
