An Israeli envoy arrived in Cairo Wednesday for a few hours to meet with several Egyptian officials.
Cairo airport sources refused to give any information about the envoy's identity or position.
The discussions will tackle developments following the Israeli border raid last month that killed five Egyptian security and police officers.
Tensions rose between the two countries after the israeli raid, which came in response to an attack that killed eight Israelis, allegedly carried out by militants who entered Israel from Sinai.
Last week, Israeli news reports said Prime Minister Benjamim Netanyahu had recently spoken with Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of Egypt's ruling military council, to discuss the border security situation.
Israel seeks to reduce tension with Egypt despite popular pressure among Egyptians for a review of the peace treaty between the countries.
The envoy's brief visit comes after Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Yitzhak Levanon arrived in Cairo on Monday following a short vacation in Israel. Protesters outside the Israeli Embassy in Giza called for his expulsion following the border raid.
