Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel will arrive in Israel next week for talks on the Gaza Strip, Channel 10 news reports.

Quoting an unnamed senior Israeli official, the report says Kamel will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and Nadav Argaman, the head of the Shin Bet security agency.

He will also travel to Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, according to the network.

Kamel visited in August to discuss efforts to reach a truce between Israel and Hamas, the terror group that rules Gaza.

Egypt is also overseeing reconciliation talks between Hamas and the PA leader’s Fatah party.
