Sir Sassoon Eskell, KBE (17 March 1860 – 31 August 1932) was an Iraqi statesman, financier and politician.[1] Also known as Sassoon Effendi[2][3] (from Turkish Efendi, a title meaning Lord), he was regarded in Iraq as the Father of Parliament.[4] Eskell (Arabic: ساسون حسقيل or ساسون حزقيال) was the first Minister of Finance in the Kingdom and a permanent Member of Parliament until his death. Along with Gertrude Bell and T. E. Lawrence, he was instrumental in the creation and the establishment of the Kingdom of Iraq post Ottoman rule,[5] and he founded the nascent Iraqi government's laws and financial structure.[4]
