The Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) will not participate in the national conference convened by the Lebanese Forces (LF) in Maarab on Saturday to discuss ways to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and end military operations in South Lebanon.

Sources close to the LF say that the invitation was extended only to MPs and opposition figures, a group that the PSP is not part of. The same sources recall that several representatives of this party have already announced that they are positioned in the independent category. As such, they are neither with the pro-Iranian axis led by Hezbollah nor with the opposition led by Mr. Geagea.
