Faisal Karami (Arabic: فيصل عمر كرامي; born 26 September 1971) is a Lebanese politician.
[6] He was appointed minister of youth and sports in June 2011 to the cabinet of Najib Mikati.
[9] Karami's term ended on 15 February 2014, and Abdul Muttaleb Al Hinawi succeeded him in the post.
[10] Karami's appointment led to conflict during the cabinet formation process in 2011[11] due to the fact that Hezbollah had explicitly asked Mikati to assign Faisal Karami as one of the ministers which was initially refused by Mikati.
[12] Nevertheless, Karami was appointed as a non-affiliated minister chosen by Hezbollah,[9] and became the seventh Sunni member of the cabinet after Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri’s AMAL party agreed to give up one of its governmental shares for him.
