The second cabinet led by Khaled Chehab was formed under President Camille Chamoun on 30 September 1952.[1][2] Its establishment occurred in the aftermath of the 1952 crisis in Lebanon.[3] The cabinet was not only given confidence vote, but also power to enforce laws via decree-laws to reform the Lebanese administrative and legislative bodies until February 1953.[4][5]

The period of the cabinet was brief, and it was dissolved on 30 April 1953.[2][6][7] Saeb Salam was given the task to form the next cabinet.[4]

Cabinet members

The cabinet was consisted of four members.[4][8] They were not a member of the Lebanese Parliament.[9]

The cabinet members were as follows:[1][10]

  • Prime Minister: Khalid Chehab
  • Foreign Minister, Minister of Public Works and PTT: Musa Mubarak
  • Minister of Defense, Minister of Education, Minister of Health and Social Affairs: Salim Haidar
  • Minister of Finance and Minister of Economy and Agriculture: George Hakim

In addition to his premiership Khalid Chehab also held the following posts in the cabinet: minister of interior, minister of justice and minister of information.[10]

On 6 February 1953 Minister of Defense Salim Haidar resigned from the office, and the number of the cabinet members decreased to three.[2]
