The talks will also cover arrangements for forming an independent technocratic committee to govern Gaza.
Asharq News said the Hamas delegation will additionally hold bilateral meetings with leaders of other Palestinian factions in Cairo.
These discussions are expected to lead to a broader, inclusive meeting hosted by Egypt to promote Palestinian unity and explore Gaza’s future and prospects for political partnership.
According to Al-Arabiya, the visit, scheduled as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, will include meetings with Egyptian officials and mediators to review the latest developments on the ground and discuss the second phase of the Gaza agreement.
The talks come amid ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, which was brokered by Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the US and came into effect on 10 October.
Since then, Israel has killed more than 300 Palestinians and injured over 670 in strikes across Gaza while continuing to restrict humanitarian aid entry to the starving Palestinian people.
The Israeli army has killed an average of two Palestinian children every day since the ceasefire began, according to UNICEF.
Hamas accused Israel of expanding its control zones inside the strip by pushing the truce-mandated yellow line of demarcation, calling it a clear violation of the agreement.
The group urged mediators and the United States to act to stop "Tel Aviv’s deliberate attempts" to undermine the ceasefire.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Hamas stated that Israeli occupation forces had resumed advancing into areas from which they were required to withdraw under the agreement, displacing large numbers of families amid sustained aerial and artillery bombardment.
The group said the renewed incursions had shifted agreed-upon withdrawal lines and killed hundreds of Palestinians since the beginning of the ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the Israeli escalation, claiming Hamas had continued violating the ceasefire and that Israel was responding accordingly. He made the remarks during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
On Friday, Netanyahu also claimed that the army’s incursion into Gaza City was the decisive factor behind the release of Israeli captives, adding that the military has not yet completed the first phase of the Gaza deal and will continue working to recover the bodies of the last three Israeli captives.
He said “the violent phase of the war” had ended, but left open the possibility of resuming combat if required.
The escalation comes less than a week after the UN Security Council (UNSC) approved a US-proposed ceasefire and stabilization plan for Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Gaza agreement, signed during the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit for Peace, remains in its first phase, with the implementation of the second phase yet to be agreed upon.
Key sticking points include the disarmament of Hamas, the formation of a transitional authority, and the deployment of an international stabilization force in the strip, part of Donald Trump’s peace plan.
The two-year-old Israeli genocidal war on Gaza has killed nearly 70,000 Palestinians and injured more than 173,000, mostly women and children.
It has also damaged or destroyed 83 percent of homes and buildings in the strip, leaving behind over 60 million tons of rubble.
