Mohamed Kamal: Biden a rare jewel, knows Egypt’s weight in Middle East
Dr. Mohamed Kamal, a professor of foreign relations at Cairo
University, said that US President-elect Joe Biden has not yet announced the
nature of his policy of dealing with Iran.
At the Bawaba News symposium about foreign relations after
Biden winning the US elections, Kamal said that the president-elect will be
like a fireman, as he does not want new fires igniting around the world, while
his relationship will not differ in foreign files with China and Russia.
Kamal added that US foreign policy decision-making will be
in the hands of Biden himself, as he is fully aware of foreign policy,
differing from his predecessors, presidents Donald Trump and Barak Obama.
Biden will have a preconceived idea about any issue that
will be brought to him, Kamal said, noting that Biden was first elected to the
Senate in 1973 and knows well the weight of Egypt in the Middle East and around
the world.
Kamal stressed that Biden is a rare jewel in the American
political market, as he is very familiar with the Camp David Accords, unlike
some politicians who were not around at that time.
