On 26 June 1948 Haddad was ordained to the priesthood. Haddad was appointed as of Tyre, succeeding Agapios Salomon Naoum. The Patriarch of Antioch Maximos IV Sayegh on July 30, 1965 ordained him bishop.
He was assisted by the co-consecrators Basile Khoury, Bachelor of Science of Sidon in Lebanon and Mikhayl Assaf of Petra and Philadelphia in Jordan.
In 1965 Haddad was a participant at the last session of the Second Vatican Council. During his tenure, Haddad was co-consecrator of:
Boutros Raï, Bachelor, auxiliary bishop in Antioch and Titular of Edessa in Osrhoene of Greek Melkites
Maximos Salloum of Acre in Israel
Bishop Michel Hakim, Bachelor of Science of Sidon in Lebanon
Bishop Spiridon Mattar of São Paulo in Brazil.
After his death on December 31, 1985, Jean Assaad Haddad became his successor. On 7 June 1982, the city of Tyre was threatened by an Israeli tank attack.
Tyre was considered a stronghold of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
In a bold single-handedly Georges Haddad asked the Israeli military column counter and pushed for negotiations. He succeeded in obtaining an attack delay, so that was not killed or injured civilians in the fighting. And so the media reported:
"A man was seen in white robe, Metropolitan Georges Haddad.
Then gave Israeli loudspeaker vans known: "You may all go home, your metropolitans sake." On the shoulders of his fellow citizens Georges Haddad returned to his intact retarded archbishopric.
In the courtyard, in Phoenician column fragments, he fell on his knees and prayed.
