Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will make an official visit to Lebanon on Tuesday to discuss regional, global and bilateral issues, the foreign ministry said on Monday.
Fidan will visit Lebanon at the invitation of his Lebanese counterpart, the ministry said.
The visit comes as Israel gears up for a ground offensive into Gaza in response to an attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Oct. 7.
Earlier on Monday, Fidan discussed Israeli attacks on Gaza and the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in a call with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, a Turkish Foreign Ministry source said, according to Reuters.
The source provided no further information.
Türkiye has said it was ready to mediate the conflict and that it was in contact with Hamas on the release of civilians being held hostage by the group.
It has also sent humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is currently held in Egypt while borders are closed.
