George Beseb'ely was a Maronite Catholic bishop who served as the 56th Patriarch of Antioch between 1657 and 1670. Born in the Lebanese village of Beseb'el around 1595, he initially served as an auxiliary bishop. Following the election of a monk who declined the position, Beseb'ely was chosen to lead the church. His leadership was marked by efforts to secure papal recognition and by fostering strong diplomatic ties with the Kingdom of France, which provided protection to the Maronite people.
