On the anniversary of the assassination of Minister Pierre Gemayel, Kataeb Party officials and prominent political figures paid tribute to his enduring legacy. Gemayel, who was assassinated 18 years ago for being a stalwart advocate for Lebanese independence and national sovereignty, remains a symbol of national unity, resistance to oppression, and the dream of a better Lebanon. Through heartfelt messages, his comrades reaffirmed their commitment to his vision of a free, independent, and prosperous nation.
Kataeb Party leader Samy Gemayel shared an emotional reflection, emphasizing the personal and national impact of his brother’s loss.
“This year feels different—a mix of sorrow over the tragedies of war and a sense that the country I’ve dreamed of is closer to becoming a reality,” Gemayel wrote on his X account. “But the hardest feeling remains that none of these emotions can compensate for the loss of my brother. Nothing can replace the life of a loving and joyful person, nor the void left by your absence from our family and my life.”
The Kataeb chief pledged to continue the fight for Lebanon’s sovereignty and the principles that his brother died defending.
