Middle East to be low priority for Biden - Kamal
CAIRO – Political science professor Mohamed Kamal expected Wednesday the Middle East region to have a low priority on the foreign policy agenda of Joe Biden when he takes over the presidency of the United States in January.
He
added at a seminar organized by al-Bawaba News on the latest elections in the
United States that Egypt is by far the most stable country in the region.
Kamal
expected the notorious American blueprint for settling the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict, known as the "Deal of the Century", to disappear altogether
in the coming period.
"This
plan will be substituted with the two-state solution," Kamal said.
He
expected Egypt to feature highly in Biden's foreign policy agenda.
"Biden's
administration will be very rational," Kamal said. "It will contain
some of the political expertise in the United States," he added.
A
host of political scientists, former diplomats and experts attended the
seminar, which – among other things – discussed the expected American foreign
policy line under Biden.
