According to the report, Cohen will meet US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and CIA Director William Burns, with the latter yet to be confirmed by the Senate.
A meeting with US President Joe Biden is also within the realm of possibilities, but has yet to be confirmed, as first face-to-face meetings with US leaders are a prerogative of Israeli state leaders, the report noted.
Biden has so far chosen not to call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or any other Middle Eastern leaders, in his first days in the Oval Office.
According to earlier reports in the Israeli media, Cohen's tour to Washington will mostly be focused on Iran and the US willingness to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal.

Cohen is said to be set to outline Israel's demands for any new deal with Tehran, which would seek to curb its regional ambitions beyond the nuclear aspirations.
The requirements will reportedly include ceasing Iranian support for regional terrorist groups and Iran's military withdrawal from Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
