According to a senior Israeli official, Eyal Hulata traveled to Egypt with outgoing NSC head Meir Ben-Shabbat for talks focused mainly on the fragile Egyptian-brokered ceasefire that brought an end to the Israel Defense Force's Operation Guardian of the Walls in the Gaza Strip in May.

This was the first such meeting to be held since a new coalition government took office in June.

The meeting came at a delicate time, with Hamas threatening to reignite hostilities over several potential issues, chief among them the eviction of families from Sheikh Jarrah and the transfer of Qatari aid into Gaza.

Israeli officials have said they would condition Gaza's reconstruction and the easing restrictions on Palestinians there on the reaching of a prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas.
