Israeli President Isaac Herzog is expected to visit Turkey on March 9-10 to meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, sources said Tuesday, APA reports citing Dailysabah.
In recent months, the two countries have been working on a rapprochement, with Erdoğan, a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, holding telephone talks with Herzog and other Israeli leaders.
The president had thanked Herzog for calling him to wish him a speedy recovery after testing positive for COVID-19.
Erdoğan said last month that Herzog's visit could open a new chapter in relations between Turkey and Israel and that he was "ready to take steps in Israel's direction in all areas, including natural gas."
