Saadallah al-Jabiri (Arabic: سعد الله الجابري, romanizedSaʿd Allāh al-Jābirī; 1893–1947) was a Syrian Arab politician, a two-time prime minister and a two-time Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Syria.[1][2] Jabiri was exiled by the French authorities to the village of Douma in North Lebanon, where he rented the house of Melhim Kheir. His sister, Fayza al-Jabiri, was married to Riad Al Solh, two-time prime minister of Lebanon.[3]
