Remove ads
Le Reveil was a French language daily newspaper which was headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon.[1] The paper was launched by Amine Gemayel in 1977[2][3] and published the French translations of the news covered in Al Amal, an official organ of the Kataeb Party.[1] Amine Gemayel employed Le Reveil to support his political views.[4]
One of the editors-in-chief was Jean Shami.[3] Antoine Basbous was one of the reporters of the paper in Paris.[5]
In October 1985 it was closed down by Elie Hobeika, a commander of Lebanese Forces during the civil war and the presidency of Amine Gemayel.[1][6] Hobeika had attempted to shut down Al Amal, but he did not manage to stop its publication.[1] Although Le Reveil has not been published since then, the license of the paper still belongs to the Kataeb Party.[7]
