Secretary of State Antony Blinken touched down in Turkey on Friday night local time, according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Miller said that among the discussions the two countries will have is "preventing the spread of the conflict in Gaza".
Turkey this week officially backed South Africa's submission to the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
