Yehia Abdel Aziz Abdel Fatah El-Gamal (Arabic: يحيى عبد العزيز عبد الفتاح الجمل, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈjeħjæ ʕæbdelʕæˈziːz ʕæbdelfætˈtæːħ]; 15 August 1930 – 21 November 2016) was an Egyptian lawyer and politician (DFP). From January to July 2011, he was the deputy prime minister of Egypt.
El Gamal was born on 15 August 1930. He is a classmate of Ahmad Zaki Yamani.
El Gamal was a minister of state and administrative reform from 1974 to 1975 under the premiership of Abd El Aziz Muhammad Hegazi and the presidency of Anwar Sadat. Since 1975 he has been a professor for constitutional law at the Cairo University. He served as a cultural attaché in Paris during Farouk Hosni’s term as minister of culture at the beginning of the 2000s. He was also a member of the People’s Assembly.
In 2007, he co-founded the liberal Democratic Front Party. On 29 January 2011, interim Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik made him his deputy. El-Gamal kept his office when Essam Sharaf succeeded Shafik as prime minister on 3 March, and he was sworn in on 7 March. In late June he handed in his resignation, but head of state Mohamed Hussein Tantawi asked him to carry on with his duties. After massive new protests on Tahrir Square in Cairo, El-Gamal resigned on 12 July 2011.
He is an adherent of the National Association for Change which endorsed the candidacy of Mohamed ElBaradei for the 2011 presidential election. In addition, he chaired the National Consensus, a conference that monitored the interim period. Yehia El-Gamal accused Israel of being responsible for the difficulties and conflicts Egypt was facing.
