Khaled Al Jarrah Al Sabah (Arabic: الشيخ خالد الجراح الصباح, born 1953) is a former Kuwaiti politician and retired lieutenant general. As a member of the ruling Al Sabah family, he does not belong to the Mubarak branch eligible for the emirate. He served as deputy prime minister and minister of defense from August 4, 2013, to December 11, 2017. Subsequently, he held the positions of deputy prime minister and minister of interior from December 11, 2017, to November 18, 2019.[1]
His career has been marred by legal troubles; in March 2021, the Kuwaiti ministerial court ordered his arrest on charges of embezzling public funds. He was convicted of these charges in November 2023.[2]
