It should cause no problem at all. The majority of Israeli Jews were either born in Arab countries or are the children/grandchildren of people who were. It is not at all rare here and the screeners will not be suprised about it.

Moreover, even if your father were born in Cairo, was not Jewish, and still lives in Egypt there is no legal impediment for him to visit Israel. The two countries have signed a peace treaty which allows that. (Although he would probably get more questioning in that case.)
