Ali Hassan Khalil (Arabic: علي حسن خليل; born 15 July 1964) is a Lebanese politician, Member of Parliament, and former Minister of Finance.

Khalil is described as the "second most powerful man" in Amal behind Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. He was sanctioned by the United States Treasury under the Magnitsky Act over "corruption" and "leveraging political power for financial gain".

Career

Khalil, who studied law at the Lebanese University, is a member of parliament representing the Marjeyoun/Hasbaya district. He ran successfully in 1996, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2018 and 2022. He secured victory in the 2022 Lebanese general election for the "South 3" electoral district by garnering 13,155 votes as part of the "Hope and Loyalty" coalition.

Khalil was appointed minister of public health in the cabinet of Najib Mikati on 13 June 2011. Khalil's term ended when he was appointed minister of finance, replacing Mohammad Safadi in the post.

He was appointed minister of finance on three occasions: February 2014 under PM Tammam Salam, December 2016 and January 2020 under PM Saad Hariri.

He was sanctioned by the United States Department of Treasury on September 8, 2020, for allegations of corruption and connections to the terrorist organization Hezbollah.

In 2021, Judge Tarek Bitar issued an arrest warrant against Khalil after he failed to attend a scheduled interrogation over alleged involvement in the 2020 Beirut explosion that claimed over 200 lives.

In 2024, Judge Sabbouh Suleiman of the Court of Cassation revoked the warrants against Khalil due to a constitutional provision that protects members of parliament from arrest unless they are caught in the act of a crime or a vote is held to permit their prosecution.
