Giscard Offer to Aid Lebanon With Troops Met by Opposition
PARIS (JTA) — Presi-
dent Valery Giscard d'Es-
taing's offer to send a
French Army peacekeeping
force to Lebanon promptly
came under criticism from
the opposition in France and
from most countries in the
Middle East. The Lebanese
left, led by Kamal Jumblatt,
has warned that French in-
tervention in Lebanon is
doomed to failure and that
France would find itself "in
a snare's nest."
In spite of this opposition,
France was scheduled to
move "if necessary" a force
of some 5,000 men and an
array of fire-power to Leba-
non. A naval task force
which includes the aircraft
carrier "Clemenceau," the
helicopter carrier "Jeanne
d'Arc" and several cruisers

ates could also reach Le-
banese waters in a matter of
hours, French sources say.
The president, who first
made his offer known on the
eve of his return to France
from the United Statee, is
reportedly waiting for an of-
ficial Lebanese request be-
fore ordering the force to
move. The French task
force, sources here say,
would actually "prevent the
fighting and separate the
combatants" and not resign
itself to an observer role.
First reports from
abroad have been gener-
ally unfavorable. Most
Arab countries have al-
ready expressed their op-
position to the use of for-
eign troops in Lebanon.
Israel has also indicated
that it is against the ar-
rival of foreign troops in
the area. The French press
has extensively quoted Is-
rael editorials opposing
such a move.
Inside France itself, the
opposition parties have
warned the government
against "gunboat diplo-
macy" and said "we know

suspicion that Giscard

taken at "the request of the

Gaullist circles in Paris
rallied to Giscard d'Esta-

Gaullists viewed his offer as
"a sign of France's inde-

"responsibility for Leba-

French mandate from 1920
until that country's inde-

CARACAS, Venezuela
(JTA) — Mrs. Raya Jaglom
of Tel Aviv, president of the
Women's International
Zionist Organization
(WIZO), stressed at a WIZO
conference in Venezuela the
important role of WIZO fed-
erations in the distant Jew-
ish communities of Latin
America in maintaining
Jewish and Zionist educa-
tion and in stimulating
aliya.
Mrs. Jaglom spoke at the
fourth WIZO Congress of
Latin American Zionist So-
lidarity attended by 150 de-
legates from 12 Latin Amer-
ican countries: Argentina,
Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Para-
guay, Uruguay, Ecuador,
Mexico, Costa Rica, Pan-
ama, Venezuela and Cura-
cao.
Since the founding of
WIZO in 1920, she said, its
guiding- principle has been
social development of
women and children in Is-
rael and Jewish education in
the Diaspora.
