The Second cabinet of Omar Karami (26 October 2004 to 19 April 2005) was the 67th Lebanese cabinet, led by Prime Minister Omar Karami. The cabinet came after the collapse of the fifth cabinet of Rafic Hariri resigned in the uproar following the parliamentary extension of the presidency of Émile Lahoud for three years. The Karami cabinet itself fell six months later during the Cedar Revolution, which was sparked by the assassination of Rafic Hariri, the previous prime minister.
