King Faisal's Gift to Newsmen With Jobert: Protocols

PARIS (JTA)—King Fai-
sal of Saudi Arfabia has pre-
sented the French newsmen
who accompanied Foreign
Minister Michael Jobert to
Jidda with a personal gift—
the Protocols of the Elders of
Zion and an anthology of
anti-Semitic writings.
Each of the newsmen in
the party—and they included
four known to be Jewish—
was presented with a small
silk basket as a "personal
gift" from the king.
The anthology, published
in 1972, contains 428 extracts
from such strange co-authors
as Adolf Hitler and Theodor
Herzl, A large part is devot-
ed to what it claims to be
parts of Talmud.
The Protocols is introduc-

ed by an Arab scholar, Fay-
ez Ajjaz, who appeals to
"Christians throughout the
world to realize the danger
threatening them and to
unite their efforts to ours for
the good of the entire human
race."
"Le Monde" is the only
French paper to reveal pub-
licly the contents of the
king's gift. The other news-
men, apparently acting at
the request of the French
Foreign Ministry, have not
made known to their readers
the nature of the two books
described by Saudie officials
as "the king's favorite litera-
ture."
Le Monde's Eric Rouleau,
known for his articles criti-
cal of Israeli policy, was
the only member of the
French party to be refused
a visa by the Saudis. Rouleau
described himself as Jewish
in his visa application.
Four other Jewish news-
men either said that they
were "without religion" or
are believed to have pro-
duced forged baptism certi-
ficates.
When invited by the Sau-
dis to send another reporter
to replace Rouleau, Le
Monde forwarded the name
of Nicole Bernheim, who also
described herself as Jewish.
She, too, was refused a visa.
Le Nouvel Observateur,
usually critical of Israeli
policy, and the Paris Cenutra
News Agency (ACP), an-
nounced that they were no
longer covering Jobert's visit
out of solidarity with Rou-
leau.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Ara-
bian Embassy's refusal to
grant Rouleau a visa has
provoked sharp protests here
against Saudi Arabia and
Jobert.
The International League
Against Racism and anti-
Semitism (LICA) sharply
criticized what it called Jo-
bert's "passivity" in the af-
fair and expressed its "in-
dignation at the foreign
minister's failure to protest
in the name of France
against such racial discrimi-
nation."
Daniel Mayer, president of
the Human Rights League
(HRL), said, "As is often the
case, their avowed anti-

Zionism (Saudi Arabia's) is
nothing but the official label
they give to their anti-Semi-
tism."
The National Union
of Journalist Syndicates
(NUJS), in a written "solemn
protest" of the Saudi Ara-
bian visa refusal, expressed
"its indignation at racist,
philosophical or religious
pretexts used to prevent the
free exercise of the journalist
profession and to suppress
freedom of expressions."
In addition, the NUJS
strongly criticized what it
termed the "passivity of the
Quai d'Orsay (French state
department) which did not
deem it necessary to protest

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
crackle of automatic fire and
the heavy blasts of demo-
lition charges echoed over
both sides of the Euez Canal
Tuesday as the first phase of
the Israel withdrawal from
the west bank of the canal
ended.
The sounds were not those
of war but of disengagement.
Soldiers of the Egyptian
Third Army Corps, exuber-
ant over the lifting of three
months' encirclement, fired
weapons into the air and shot
off fireworks.
Israeli forces, heading
northeast in trucks and buses
painted with signs that read
"Goodby Africa" and "We're
Going Home" were in a happy
mood, too. But the reported
promise by the Israeli chief
of staff not to engage in a
scorched earth policy in the
evacuated areas appeared to
have been forgotten.
The Israelis are making off
with huge quantities of
Egyptian war booty. But
whatever military installa-
tions could not be moved—
such as fuel dumps were
destroyed.

ized photographs of demol-
ished hangers and concrete
abutments at three military
airfields handed back to the

France in return will fur-

sistance and weapon s.
Whether these weapons will
include Mirage fighter-bomb-

ers has never been officially
confirmed.

In Kuwait Monday, Jobert
offered arms and large in-
dustrial investments in ex-
change for long-term oil de-
liveries.

Jobert told the Kuwaitis
that France was prepared to
supply fighter planes, tanks
and anti-aircraft missiles free
of politic al strings, govern-
ment sources saaid.
He also expressed France's
readiness to participate in
petrochemical and oil refine-

deliveries of crude and re-
fined oil, the sources added.

said it was "shocked" that
the foreign minister had fail-
ed to take "urgent" steps
with the Saudi Arabian au-
thorities and see that the re-
fusal "was annulled."
A recently concluded Fran-
co-Saudi Arabian oil agrre-
ment provides for the de-
livery of 30,000,000 tons of
Saudi crude oil to France
over a three-year period.
