Phalangist Party

The Phalangist Party, or Kataeb Party, is a Lebanese political organization founded in 1936, primarily representing Lebanon's Maronite Christian community. It seeks to promote Lebanese nationalism and has historically been associated with a strong anti-communist and pro-Western stance. The party played a significant role during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), often aligning with other factions to defend Christian interests. Over the years, its influence has waned, but it remains a part of Lebanon's complex political landscape, advocating for national unity and sovereignty while navigating the challenges of a diverse society.
