Israeli forces invaded Lebanon in 1982. Although Gemayel did not cooperate with the Israelis publicly, his long history of tactical collaboration with Israel counted against him in the eyes of many Lebanese specially Muslims. Although the only announced candidate for the presidency of the republic, the National Assembly elected him by the second narrowest margin in Lebanese history (57 votes out of 92) on August 23, 1982; most Muslim members of the Assembly boycotted the vote. Nine days before he was due to take office, Gemayel was murdered along with twenty-five others in an explosion at the Kataeb headquarters in Achrafieh on September 14, 1982. Bachir Gemayel was succeeded as president by his older brother Amine Gemayel, who served from 1982 to 1988. Rather different in temperament, Amine Gemayel was widely regarded as lacking the charisma and decisiveness of his brother, and many of the latter's followers were dissatisfied. 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

More than 21 years after his assassination, Bachir Gemayel remains a divisive figure in Lebanese politics. Many Christians remember him nostalgically as a hero, seeing him as the embodiment of what Lebanon could and should have been. His widow, Solange Gemayel works to keep his legacy alive through the Bachir Gemayel Foundation, a political and informational organization. His first daughter, Maya was ruthlessly murdered by a car bomb intended for Gemayel himself in 1979, when Maya was eighteen months old. He has two surviving children: a daughter, Youmna, who received her degree in political science in Paris, and is now working towards her Masters in Management at ESA (École supérieure des affaires) in Beirut, and a son, Nadim, a law student and political activist.
