Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may hold talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting, the Times of Israel reported, citing a report by public broadcaster Kan.

Turkey and Israel are trying to repair bilateral relations tainted by disagreements over the Palestinian issue and regional issues, including energy policy in the eastern Mediterranean.

Last month, the two countries fully restored diplomatic relations. Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Turkey in March, marking the beginning of improved relations. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu visited Israel in May, and Lapid visited Turkey in June, when he was foreign minister, for talks with Cavusoglu. This fall, the two governments plan to convene a conference on the economy and trade relations.
