Nasrallah Sfeir
Patriarch of Lebanon's largest Christian minority, the Maronite Church, Nasrallah Sfeir has found himself both within the Syrian camp and outside it.
At the beginning of the 1990s he supported Syria's role against the rebel General Michel Aoun.
He began demanding Syrian withdrawal towards the end of the decade, before falling silent again just as anti-Syrian views were becoming more widespread.
He has backed the process whereby Damascus says it will withdraw its forces, but has also called for Lebanon to focus on its economic development rather than political rifts.
