The Lebanese Phalanges Party (Arabic: حزب الكتائب اللبنانية Hizb Al-Kata’eb Al-Lubnaniyah) better known in English as the Phalange (Arabic: Kata’eb) is a right-wing political party. Although it is officially secular it is mainly supported by Maronite Christians. The party played a major role in the Lebanese Civil War (1975–90). In decline in the late 1980s and 1990s the party slowly re-emerged since the early 2000s. It is now part of the March 14 Alliance.
