Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz took off to Turkiye on Wednesday, as the two countries are poised to establish stronger military ties with the aim of strengthening regional security and stability, APA reports citing the Jerusalem Post.
The visit, the first by an Israeli defense minister in over a decade, comes just days before the election.
Gantz will meet with his counterpart Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and be welcomed by an honor guard in Ankara.
