Tenth Cabinet of Rashid Karami

56th Cabinet of Lebanon


The Tenth Cabinet of Rashid Karami was the fifty-sixth cabinet of Lebanon, the second under President Amine Gemayel and the tenth headed by Prime Minister Rashid Karami. It was a national unity coalition and formed on 13 April 1984.[1][2] President Gemayel asked Karami to form the cabinet although Karami had not been active in politics for four years.[1] The mission of the government was to terminate the civil war in the country which had begun in 1975.[1]

On 4 May 1987 Rashid Karami resigned from the office due to harsh criticism of Samir Geagea who was the head of the Lebanese Forces.[1] His resignation was neither accepted nor rejected by President Gemayel, and Karami assumed the role of caretaker prime minister until his assassination in June 1987.[1] Following this incident Selim Hoss became the acting prime minister and served in the post until September 1988.[3]
