Policy changes
towards Israel
expected soon
Paris (JTA) — The '
Socialist government of
Premier Laurent Fabius, no
longer tethered td the
Communist Party which
was part of the coalition) d
headed by former Premier
Pierre Mauroy, is expecte
to adopt 'a stronger pro-
Israel stance than its pre-
decessor, diplomatic obser-
vers said here last week.
Although foreign policy is
the exclusive province of the
President under the French
Constitution, President
Francois Mitterrand had
been forced to take Corn
munist opinion into consid-
eration when he formulated
policy in the past.
"Now, with the Com-
munists gone, the President
will have an even freer hand
in pursuing a strong pro-
Western Atlantic line in
Europe and the Middle
East," observers said. Mit-
terrand named Fabius to
succeed Mauroy after the
latter's sudden resignation
last week and the Cabinet
has been reshuffled.
Among the four Com-
munist ministers dropped
was Charles Fitteftian,
Minister of Transport, who
was born in Lille, the son of
Jewish immigrant parents
from Poland. He is slated to
replace Georges Marchais
as Secretary General of
France's Communist Party.
Fabius has reappointed
another Jew who held a
senior Cabinet post in the
Mauroy government, Jus-
tice Minister Robert Bad-
inter. Gaston DeFerre, a
non-Jew but a warm friend
of Israel, lost his portfolio of
Minister of Interior but re-
mains a Minister of State
and is the highest ranking
Cabinet member after the
Prime Minister. Minister of
Culture Jack Lang, who is
Jewish, is expected to keep
his post which is classified
as a junior ministry.
Israel defense
costs spiraling
Jerusalem (ZINS) — Is-
rael's 1983 defense costs
climed back to the, 1981
level of\26 percent of the
country's Gross National
,Product (GNP) following a
three percent decline in
1982; the Central Bank re-
ported.
Defense outlays, which
went from ten percent of the
GNP in 1964 to 32 percent
in 1975, had been slowly de-
clining until the in Leba-
non. The 1983 figure does
not include military outlays
• in southern Lebanon or the
$2 billion in military aid
which Israel receives from
the United States, the bank
said.
