Senior Hamas officials will travel to Egypt on Monday as part of efforts to revive stalled negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the Arabic-language sister site of The New Arab.
The discussions are part of a diplomatic initiative being pushed by Turkish officials, who held separate talks with representatives of Hamas and the Egyptian government last week, a source familiar with the matter told the news outlet.
The delegation will be headed by Khalil al-Hayya, who chairs Hamas's political wing.
There are indications that Turkey and Egypt are raising pressure on Hamas to agree to a temporary ceasefire following a breakdown in talks last month.
Last month, both countries for the first time signed a statement calling on the group to surrender its weapons and leave Gaza as part of a lasting ceasefire to end the war.
The trip comes just days after Ankara hosted a Hamas delegation and Turkey's top diplomat Hakan Fidan travelled to Egypt for talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.
Speaking at a joint press conference at the Egyptian coastal city of New Alamein, Fidan and Abdelatty condemned the Israeli government's plans to seize control of Gaza City and urged the international community to act to prevent it carrying out its plans to expel the Palestinians from their land.
The talks in Cairo come two days after Qatari prime minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly met in Ibiza to discuss the negotiations.
A US news report over the weekend claimed that Egypt and Qatar are working on a new proposal that would see Hamas release all the remaining Israeli captives in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
The two countries have been attempting to broker a lasting ceasefire since the early weeks of the war.
The renewed diplomatic efforts come a few weeks after Israel and the US walked away from ceasefire talks, claiming that Hamas did not want to reach an agreement.
Israel has refused to permanently end the war and has rejected Hamas's offer to release all remaining captives and cede control of the territory in return for a long-term ceasefire.
It insists that the group must disarm and leave Gaza, something Hamas refuses to do until Israel agrees to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Hamas in recent months walked back its demand to end the war and agreed to accept a 60-day truce in return for a limited captive-release deal.
The latest talks collapsed over Israel's presence in Gaza during the truce and the future of the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which took over aid distribution efforts in the war-torn territory at the end of May.
Hamas is pressing for Israeli troops to withdraw from key areas of Gaza during the ceasefire and for Israel to allow aid to be distributed by the UN and international relief agencies.
Israel has insisted it will maintain a presence in swathes of the territory and refuses to wind down the GHF, whose operations have led to the deaths of almost 1,800 aid seekers at the hands of the Israeli army.
