Paris (JTA) — Flush from
his recent success signing a
mutual recognition accord
with Israel, Palestine Lib-
eration Organization
Chairman Yassir Arafat met
with leading French officials
last week during an official
visit here.
But a meeting with French
Jewish leaders failed to ma-
terialize.
During his two-day visit
Mr. Arafat met with French
President Francois Mitter-
rand, Prime Minister_
Edouard Balladur and
leading political figures.
He also met with Simone
Veil, a very popular senior
minister in the French
Cabinet in charge of health
who is proudly Jewish. Mr.
Veil is a former president of
the European Parliament
and a survivor of the
Auschwitz death camp.
After their meeting, Mr.
Veil said that France would
look into the best and most
efficient way to help the Pa-
lestinians establish a public
health service.
Last week, France ear-
marked an emergency aid
package of about $1 million
to help the Palestinian edu-
cational and health systems
in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, as well as schools in
eastern Jerusalem.
But Mr. Arafat did not
meet with the leaders of the
Jewish community in
France, despite a request by
PLO representatives to the
Jewish umbrella organiza-
tion CRIF.
After heated discussions,
the executive committee of
CRIF had given the green
light to its president, Jean
Kahn, to meet with the PLO
chairman.
But CRIF insisted on three
prerequisites for the
meeting: that the PLO
would state publicly that it
was the Palestinians who
had requested the meeting;
that the encounter would
take place on neutral
ground; and that Arafat
would distance himself from
former declarations doub-
ting the full reality of the
Holocaust.
Mr. Arafat allegedly has
stated that the total number
Mr. Arafat found
CRIF demands
unacceptable.
of Jewish victims of the
Nazis was exaggerated.
Mr. Arafat apparently
found CRIF's demands
unacceptable, and the
meeting did not take place.
But the Palestinian leader
did meet with various Jew-
ish and Israeli journalists
during his visit here.
Meanwhile, the PLO
leader's meetings with
French government officials
bore fruit.
Most prominent among the
offers of aid was a pledge to
help the Palestinians set up
