Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu is set to visit Israel on May 25, marking the first time a Turkish foreign minister has visited the country in 15 years as the two nations continue to mend ties.
Çavuşoğlu had announced earlier that he planned to visit Israel to meet with his Israeli counterpart Yair Lapid. He also plans to visit Palestine a day before his Israel visit.
Turkey and Israel have in recent weeks been working to mend their long-strained ties and energy has emerged as a potential area of cooperation.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in March that he was "very, very hopeful" for energy cooperation with Israel, and he hoped to discuss the issue with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
