Paris (JTA) — French officials
have summoned the ambas-
sadors of Iran and Libya to
protest their countries' praise of
the recent suicide bombings in Is-
rael.
The Foreign Ministry had
called in the envoys to "confirm
our disapproval of the Iranian
and Libyan reactions to the at-
tacks carried out in Israel," a
spokesman said.
In Parliament a day earlier,
Prime Minster Alain Juppe said
there would be other "diplomat-
ic consequences."
The spokesman said those
moves were being studied.
Government spokesman Alain
Lamassoure said after the week-
ly Cabinet meeting that France
wanted to take diplomatic mea-
sures against Iran in coordina-
tion with the European Union.
He said Mr. Juppe had
stressed the need for the E.U.'s
15 member states to practice
"criticism as well as dialogue"
with Iran.
Iran, which has denied fi-
nancing the activities of the mil-
itant Hamas and Islamic Jihad
movements, praised the four sui-
cide bombings that claimed 57 in-
nocent lives in nine days as
"divine retribution."
Libyan leader Muammar Qad-
haffi reacted to the bombings by
saying that Palestine was a
"tomb for Jews."
France's latest diplomatic
moves came just a week after
French Transportation Minister
Bernard Pons visited Iran to sign
a cooperation agreement on
transportation.
The visit triggered a barrage
of criticism from Jewish groups,
as well as from members of the
ruling center-right coalition and
the opposition Socialists.

First Synagogue
On Martinique

Paris (JTA) — The 500-strong
Jewish community on the
Caribbean island of Martinique
has obtained a synagogue, the
first Jewish temple on the French
island in 350 years.
The chief rabbi of France,
Joseph Sitruk, and Jean Kahn,
the secular leader of France's
Jewish community, inaugurated
Kenaf Aretz Synagogue in Fort-
de-France, Martinique's capital.
Nearly all of Martinique's Jews
came from Morocco and Tunisia
in the early 1960s, when the for-
mer colonies wrested their inde-
pendence from France.
Nothing remains' of a syna-
gogue that was built in Mar-
tinique in 1653 for a small
number of Jews who once lived
there.
