Maurice Gemayel

Maurice Gemayel (Arabic: موريس الجميل; Lebanon, 1910 — October 31, 1970) was a Lebanese politician who served several times as minister and MP for the Metn.

He was also a prominent figure for the Kataeb Party which was founded by his cousin, Pierre Gemayel.

He was elected head of the Food and Agriculture Organisation for two consecutive terms.

His nephew, Amine, a future Lebanese president, succeeded him as representative of the Metn constituency.

With the death of Maurice Gemayel, Lebanon lost one of its most prominent figures, a man of vision and reflection.
