The Lebanese Renewal Party – LRP (Arabic: حزب التجدد اللبناني transliteration Hezb al-Tajaddud al-Lubnani) or Parti de la Renovation Libanaise (PRL) in French, was a political party in Lebanon formed in 1972 by a number of staunch Lebanese nationalists including activist Etienne Saqr, poet Said Akl and writer May Murr. Its ideology was based on Phoenicianism and the idea that the Lebanese nation is an independent non-Arab entity and is not part of the Arab World. This orientation also warned against pan-Arabism, leftist ideology and the Palestinian military presence in Lebanon.
