His wife, the former Francoise Castro, is Jewish and Jewish community sources said that their chil- dren "are Jewish according to any halachic interpreta- tion." Fabius, who has never shown interest in Judaism, told a French-Jewish weekly recently, "I am a friend of Israel and I think everything should be done to enable Israel to live as an independent state and in peace." He also pledged to do "everything I can" to strengthen Franco-Israeli cooperation in science. Fabius was described by Israel's Ambassador in Paris last ,Wednesday as "a friend of Israel who has deep feelings and convictons toward the Zionist enterprise." Ambassador Ovadia Sofer said in a Voice of Is- rael Radio interview from the French capital that Fabius, Minister of Indus- try in the outgoing govern- , 111q.11t4.,,PiT@PliPr TiPrre Mauroy, was one of the more talented members of the Socialist government. When he visited Israel in March "he broke the ice" that had chilled relations between the two countries, with the result that France and Israel concluded a pact for cooperation in the high technology field. Laurent was named Prime Minister by President Francois Mitter- rand July 17, following Mauroy's surprise resigna- tion. At 37 he will be France's youngest Prime Minister in 150 years. Sofer said that he has noticed in the past few months a general improve- ment in Franco-Israeli rela- tions. "I do not believe that at present France would in- itiate any political ,step (in the Middle East) without prior consultation with Is- rael," he said. Sofer added that France in any _ event would not launch a diplomatic initia- tive,, such as the often pro- posed international peace conference on the Middle East, before the American Presidentialelections next Npveptv,,. • • s i IP* • It couldn't be anything but Maxwell House.
