Views on Camp David Accord between Egypt and Israel
He said “The Camp David Accord expired five years after it was signed. What Egypt and Israel have now is a peace treaty and its terms may be adjusted if it will harm Egypt’s national security.”
Views on women rights
He believes that women's participation in the development of the nation is crucial. Egypt has always pioneered the inclusion of women in all spheres.
Views on political system and presidential powers
He said "The mixed political system is the best for Egypt at the mean time not the parliamentary system. This will allow for the strengthening of the political institutions and the separation between authorities. The presidential powers should be curbed in the new constitution and the president should be responsible for national security, foreign policy, justice and the rest of powers should be divided between the government and the parliament"
Views on education and scientific research
He said “The renaissance of education is based on educational methodology. It should depend on finding non-conventional solutions that includes providing students with all the information they need, opening research capabilities for them, putting an end to the private lessons phenomenon by using a simple personal computer that costs around 240 Egyptian pounds for each student. This computer can be used for educational purposes and using the internet for research.”
