Khalil al-Hayya, political leader of the terrorist-labelled Hamas, plans to hold talks with Egyptian representatives in Cairo, AFP reports, citing sources.
The trip is taking place ahead of a visit by US envoy Jared Kushner to the region next week.
Khalil al-Hayya is said to meet with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad on Sunday, in what is described as al-Hayya's first trip to Egypt as a political leader.
US envoy Jared Kushner is expected to visit both Egypt and Israel a few days later for talks on the previously presented plan for Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently rejected the 15-point document presented by Donald Trump's peace council, which includes disarming Hamas. Netanyahu has stated that Israel will not withdraw its forces from Gaza until Hamas is "truly" disarmed.
