decision of the Renault Company to end car assembly operations in Israel will not
affect Franco-Israel friendship, it was learned Tuesday.
The reassurance was given when Mordechai Shneerson, Israel charge d'affaires
in Paris, handed to Maurice Cour de IVIurville, the French Foreign Minister, a note
explaining Israel's views that the Renault action may influence other foreign
