caretaker government
حكومة إنقاذ


Explanation:
That is another suggestion:

Wikipedia:
"In politics, a caretaker government rules temporarily. A caretaker government is often set up following a war until stable democratic rule can be restored, or installed, in which case it is often referred to as a provisional government."
وهي حكومة مؤقتة فعلا كما يدل نهاية التعليق إذ إن
provisional
تعني مؤقت ولكن هذا مرادف
