After France instituted its colonial mandate over Syria after the First World War, he became an officer in the French Army. After Syria's independence in 1946 he was made Chief of Staff, and was ordered to lead the Syrian Army into war with the Israeli Army in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

However, his reign as head of state was brief, he was tried and executed in August 1949 by his former coup co-conspirators.
