Solange Gemayel, born in 1949, is a prominent Lebanese political figure and former First Lady of Lebanon. After the assassination of her husband, former President-elect Bachir Gemayel, in 1982, she co-founded the Bachir Gemayel Foundation to preserve his legacy. Gemayel vehemently opposed the Syrian military presence in Lebanon and the Syrian-backed government. She openly supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and endorsed political candidates who aligned with her pro-Western views. In 2005, she was elected to represent the Beirut constituency and later withdrew from the 2009 elections in favor of her son, Nadim. Gemayel hails from the Tutunji family with roots in Aleppo, Syria, and she raised her two surviving children to continue their late father's legacy. In 2017, the killers of Bachir Gemayel were finally sentenced, a trial that Solange had long awaited. Her unwavering dedication to preserving her late husband's legacy and her active involvement in Lebanese politics have solidified her status as a significant figure in the country's history.
