Israeli, Turkish leaders to meet at the United Nations, Israeli PM's office says

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet during the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Lapid's office said on Saturday, Trend reports citing Reuters.

The meeting marks another milestone for the countries as they work to mend long-strained ties.

In March Israel's president, whose post is largely ceremonial, travelled to Türkiye at Erdogan's invitation, the most senior Israeli visit since 2008. Two months later Türkiye's foreign minister visited Israel and the regional powers said they hoped to expand economic ties.

Lapid's office said that while in New York he would also meet the prime minister of Greece.
