"The government is steadfast in its position and the position of all Libyans and is committed to the Palestinian cause," Mohamed Hammouda said earlier this week.
He said that it was unclear if France invited Israel to attend the conference, but if the news reports about the invitation were confirmed, the government would not participate in the conference.
This came only one day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would not attend the conference should Greece, Israel or the Greek Cypriot administration attend.
"We cannot attend a Paris conference to which Greece, Israel and the Greek Cypriot administration participate, we told him (Macron). This is our condition," Erdogan told journalists on his return from the summit.
"If these countries are to attend the conference, then there is also no need to send special representatives," he added.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced last September that his country would host an international conference on Libya on 12 November.
