Information from "Nidaa Al-Watan" indicated that members of the National Moderation Bloc consulted and decided not to attend the dialogue if the Lebanese Forces boycotted it, as their initiative's principle is based on everyone's participation. It is known that the Lebanese Forces and opposition deputies refuse any dialogue chaired by President Nabih Berri. Hezbollah has conditioned the dialogue to be presided over by Berri, which implies that the Lebanese Forces and their allies lean towards boycotting.
