Sheikh Pierre Gemayel

 Sheikh Pierre Gemayel

Sheikh Pierre Gemayel, founder and leader of the Lebanese Kataeb Party.

Sheikh Pierre, as he was respectfully known, spent his life struggling for the independence and sovereignty of his country. Hardly a page of the political history of modern Lebanon has been written without his name appearing. He represents the belief in the coexistence of Muslims and Christians in one state.

In the early days of the Kataeb Party, the Party opposed both the attempts by the pan-Arabists to dominate Lebanon and the French efforts to dominate Lebanon under the mandate. Sheikh Pierre and the Kataeb Party have always believed in an independent and sovereign Lebanon free of all foreign influence.

Several times a Cabinet Minister and a member of Parliament since 1960, Sheikh Pierre has been an active leader in Lebanese politics. He was Minister of Post and Telecommunications and Minister of Health and Social Affairs. On October 11, 1978 after the 100-day war between the Lebanese resistance and the Syrian Army, he strongly denounced the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. He participated in the Geneva and Lausanne conferences for national unity in November 1983 and March 1984.

In 1976, he formed the "Lebanese Front", a political alliance of mainly Christian parties, with former President Camille Chamoun and other Christian leaders.
