Israeli and Turkish sources have been in conversation over setting up a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, Israeli hopes to hold the meeting in the coming weeks, though no concrete data has been set. 

This comes after Netanyahu congratulated Erdogan on his reelection last month. The Turkish president also called Netanyahu to extend his congratulations when he returned to power in November 2022. 

While Ynet reported that this meeting would only be the second meeting between Netanyahu and Erdogan in 15 years, it noted that Erdogan wishes to establish warmer ties with Israel.
