Following his death, the Lebanese daily As-Safir described Salam as \"most successful in dealing with the media and in presenting a particular image of himself to people on a daily basis through wearing his customary carnation ... and expounding unforgettable slogans\", and that he was Lebanon's most popular prime minister after independence leader Riad Al Solh. A significant aspect of Salam was that, unlike other Lebanese leaders, he did not act as a chief over a particular area in the country. Salam fiercely advocated the unity of Lebanon.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"17 January 1905","date":"1905-01-17"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Beirut","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3820"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"21 January 2000","date":"2000-01-21"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Geneva","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q71"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Lebanon","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q822"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"independent politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q327591"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P102"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"American University of Beirut","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q469482"},{"text":"International College, Beirut","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17005797"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P69"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"Prime Minister of Lebanon","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14915225"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saeb_Salam","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Saeb Salam born?","a":"Saeb Salam was born on 17 January 1905 in Beirut."},{"q":"What positions has Saeb Salam held?","a":"Positions held by Saeb Salam include: Prime Minister of Lebanon."},{"q":"Where did Saeb Salam study?","a":"Saeb Salam was educated at American University of Beirut, International College, Beirut."}],"related":[{"name":"Michel Aoun","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/michel-aoun"},{"name":"Rafic Hariri","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/rafic-hariri"},{"name":"Saad Hariri","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/saad-hariri"},{"name":"Najib Mikati","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/najib-mikati"},{"name":"Hassan Diab","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hassan-diab"},{"name":"Fouad Siniora","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/fouad-siniora"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/saeb-salam-0b922be78b.jpg","width":496,"height":626,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Unknown author Unknown author","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saeb_Salam.png"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Saeb Salam","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saeb_Salam","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q2002354","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2002354","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Saeb Salam.png by Unknown author Unknown author (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saeb_Salam.png","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Saeb Salam, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
