Member State of the Arab League Lebanon portal
This is the list of the Lebanese government that was formed by Fouad Siniora on 19 July 2005 after the general elections of 2005, who was appointed by then president Émile Lahoud.
[1] The legality of the government was questioned when five Shia members left in November 2006.
