Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi will lead an Israeli delegation to Egypt early next week, The Times of Israel has learned.
The schedule for the trip is still being put together and as of now Ashkenazi is expected to meet only with Egyptian officials.
Egypt played a central role in crafting the recent ceasefire agreement to end fighting between Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group.
