Prime Minister Yair Lapid will meet with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, according to a schedule published by his office.
Lapid will fly to New York on Monday, and speak at the assembly on Thursday, his office says.
During this visit, Lapid is expected to meet separately with Erdogan, as well as British Prime Minister Liz Truss, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Prime Minister’s Office says.
Joining Lapid is National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata, Foreign Ministry Director-General Alon Ushpiz, Military Secretary Avi Gil, PMO chief of staff Naama Schultz, and Cabinet Secretary Shalom Shlomo.
According to the Walla news site, the upcoming meeting will mark the first time Erdogan has met with an Israeli prime minister since his meeting with then-prime minister Ehud Olmert in Ankara in 2008.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
