The first Wael al-Halqi government is considered a continuation of the Riyad Hijab government of Syria during the country's Ba'athist era. On 6 August 2012, after the defection of Riyad Hijab, the president Bashar al-Assad issued Decree No. 294 to relieve Hijab from his position and Decree No. 295 to name Omar Ibrahim Ghalawanji as caretaker Prime Minister. On 9 August 2012, Decree No. 298 established the appointment of Wael Nader al-Halqi as Prime Minister.

It continued until 10 August 2014, when the second Wael al-Halqi government was formed after the 2014 Syrian presidential election.
