Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will receive Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on July 25 and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 28, the president's office announced.

The Turkish presidency said that Abbas' visit will focus on "Turkish-Palestinian relations and the latest developments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in addition to other current international issues."

After a years-long diplomatic crisis, ties between Turkey and Israel have improved in the last year, culminating in the visit of Israel's President Isaac Herzog to Ankara.

Nevertheless, Turkey fiercely condemned the clashes that took place at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem in early April. Erdogan described the entry of Israeli troops into the holy mosque as "crossing a red line".
