The Mount Lebanon Porject is a political and cultural movement dedicated to the survival, dignity, return, and self-determination of the Maronites and indigenous Christian communities of Lebanon.
It exists to make the case for a sovereign Mount Lebanon as the historic homeland of these communities and to organize support for a future where they can live freely, securely, and with political agency.
The Mount Lebanon Transitional Council announced its formation on April 6, 2026 as a political body representing the cause of self-determination for Maronite and indigenous Christian communities of Lebanon and protecting their interests.
It has members from the homeland and diaspora. The council seeks diplomatic engagement with the United States, Israel, France, and the United Nations regarding the governance and security crisis affecting our communities.
The movement wants a secure and free future for Mount Lebanon and its indigenous Christian people.
This includes political self-determination, protection of Christian communities, revival of Maronite Syriac identity, diaspora return, and a new regional posture based on peace, security, and alliances rather than forced hostility.
The movement recognizes that the centralized Lebanese model has utterly failed. Mount Lebanon no longer accepts being trapped in a system that cannot protect its people or represent their will.
The goal is survival with complete sovereignty over our historical homeland and total independence, with complete liberation from the current failed regime. The final form must be shaped through legal, political, demographic, and international realities.
Because Mount Lebanon is the historic refuge and homeland of the Maronite people and a central space for the Christian communities of Lebanon. It’s important to note that when we say “Mount Lebanon”, we do not mean the current administrative borders of Muhafazat Jabal Lubnan in the current republic, nor we mean the historical borders of the mutasarifiyate of 1860. We use the term to indicate the spiritual homeland and center of our people, which expanded in some historical eras from Antioch to Acre.
Mount Lebanon is where our distinct civilizational identity survived through the ages, with the monastery, the village, the church, the family, and the armed defense of freedom.
Without Mount Lebanon, Maronite identity would have become memory without territory. With Mount Lebanon, it remains a living people with a future.
The movement is unapologetically Christian, rooted in the inheritance of Mount Lebanon, especially the Maronite tradition.
But it is not only a religious initiative. It is political, cultural, demographic, historical, and strategic movement.
Faith is part of the identity of the mountain. So are language, memory, land, law, family, security, and self-rule.
No.
The Mount Lebanon Movement is not built on hatred against ordinary Muslims, Druze, or any other community.
It is built on the right of the Christian people of Mount Lebanon to survive, organize, and govern their own future. We reject systems, militias, ideologies, and political arrangements that erase our identity, threaten our communities, or drag our people into wars they did not choose.
A people defending its homeland is not hatred. It is responsibility.
The movement supports peace, direct communication, and strategic cooperation with Israel and other Eastern Mediterranean partners where this serves the security and future of Mount Lebanon.
The movement rejects the idea that the people of Mount Lebanon must inherit every war declared by the Lebanese Republic, Arab nationalism, Palestinian armed groups, or Iranian-backed militias.
Maalto is the movement’s return vision: the idea that Maronites and Mount Lebanese descendants in the diaspora should have a living path back to their ancestral homeland.
We support the right of return for Maronites from Cyprus, Syria, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and other diaspora communities.
The long-term goal is demographic, cultural, economic, and political renewal.

The Mount Lebanon Project works through political advocacy, public communication, legal argument, cultural revival, diaspora organization, and international engagement.
Its work remains disciplined, lawful, and responsible.
The movement is not another party fighting for seats inside a collapsing arrangement. We are not interested in elections or cabinet seats in the corrupt Republic. We do not accumulate memberships and positions.
We are a cause-centered movement focused on advocating for survival, self-determination, identity, return, and political clarity.
