It will be the first high-level visit by an Israeli official to the United States since President Joe Biden took office on Jan. 20.
According to the report, Cohen is slated to meet with several key White House officials, but it is unclear at this time whether he would be able to get an audience with Biden.
Cohen is expected to present "formal evidence of Iran's lies" which "conceals important elements about its nuclear program," the report noted.

Israel's goal is to prevent the United States from re-entering the 2015 nuclear deal in its original form, without drawing major concessions from Iran, which has remained adamant that the US needs to remove the sanctions against it before any discussions can take place.
The visit comes as the United States and Iran have both described as "constructive" the indirect discussions that began Tuesday in Vienna in an attempt to save the international agreement on Iranian nuclear power.
