Burns will meet Mossad chief David Barnea as well as officials from Egypt and Qatar, The New York Times reported.
Axios identified those officials as Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani and Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel.
The United States, Qatar and Egypt have been engaged in weeks of behind-the-scenes talks in a bid to secure a truce in the Gaza Strip and the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails.
