PARIS (JTA) — F re n c h
Prime Minister Pierre Mess-
mer said he is prepared to
meet with Mrs. Golda Meir
and "grant her all the cour-
tesies prescribed by proto-
col," when the Israel premier
attends the Socialist Interna-
tional meeting in Paris next
month.
French sources were not
prepared to say whether Mrs.
Meir also would be able to
meet with President Georges
Pompidou. The French
sources explained that such a
question could he decided
only if and when the Israelis
ask for such a meeting.
These sources said, how-
ever, that should the Israelis
ask to have Mrs. '.Heir meet
the president, there is every
chance that the reply would
be positive and that Pompi-
dou also would go out of his
way to extend every courtesy
to the Israeli premier.
Mrs. Meir was invited by
French Socialist leader Fran-
cois Mitterand to attend the
Socialist International Jan.
10-14.
A number of other Socialist
leaders, including Germany's
chancellor, Willy Brandt, and
Britain's Socialist lea der ,
Harold Wilson. have either
r e f used the invitation or
failed to reply as yet.
For most of these leaders
this is due to the fact that
legislative elections will take
place in France next March
and that attending a meeting
sponsored by the Socialists
could be interpreted by the
Gaullist majority as support
for the Socialist-Communist
coalition led by Mitterand.
In Israel's case, the matter
