Elias Peter Hoayek was Maronite Patriarch of Antioch from 1898 to 1931. He led a Lebanese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, asking for an independent Lebanon enlarged beyond Mount Lebanon under French protection. France's creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920, adding Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre and the Beqaa Valley, largely met his demands.
