From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nureddin Rifai (1899 – January 1980)[1] (Arabic: نور الدين الرفاعي) was director of Lebanon's Internal Security Forces (ISF) and the 25th Prime Minister of Lebanon.

Rifai retired from the ISF in 1962.[2] He was appointed to be Prime Minister by Suleiman Frangieh during Lebanon's short-lived military government on 23 May 1975.[2] He served only three days before resigning his post in the face of tremendous protest and was replaced by Rashid Karami in the post.[2]
