Subhi Bey Barakat al-Khalidi or Suphi Bereket (

French Mandate of Syria, he was the president of the Syrian Federation from 29[1] June 1922 (the day following its creation) to 1 January 1925[5]; [6] and of the State of Syria from 1 January 1925 to 21 December 1925.[4] Also, between 1938 and 1939, he served as the Antakya deputy of the Republic of Hatay[7] and was elected to the Internal Affairs Committee.[8]

Part of the reason the French supported his candidacy as president of the Syrian Federation was because as neither a native of Damascus nor a very strong Arabic speaker (Turkish was his mother tongue), he did not seem to pose a nationalist threat to French rule.[9]

Initially, he was a partner of

Druze States,[citation needed] which France refused to add to Syria because it feared that might endanger the independence of the newly created Lebanon
.
