The Lebanese Forces (LF) party is convening a national conference at its Maarab headquarters to address the ongoing Israeli war on Lebanon. The aim is to develop a political framework to halt the conflict, collaborating with Arab nations and the international community3.
Invitations and Exclusions
Kabul 24: Invitations have been extended to various opposition parties, independent MPs, and national figures. Notably, key groups like Hezbollah, the Amal Movement, and the Marada Movement have not been invited, indicating a potential divide in Lebanese politics3.
Objectives of the Conference
The conference seeks to create a roadmap to rescue Lebanon from destruction and alleviate the suffering of its citizens. Emphasizing peace, prosperity, and reconstruction, it aims to reflect the will of many Lebanese who feel powerless amid turmoil34.
Strategic Silence and Key Proposals
LF has maintained a strategic silence out of respect for war victims but now feels compelled to act. Dr. Samir Geagea will propose solutions including an immediate ceasefire and full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, targeting both domestic and international audiences34.
Follow-Up Initiatives
While immediate solutions are uncertain, LF plans to establish a follow-up committee to engage with political forces in Lebanon and key international stakeholders, including UN Security Council ambassadors3.
