SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Both papers comment on various aspects of French-Israeli/Jewish relations:
Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, discerns a thaw in relations between Jerusalem and Paris and suggests that, The turning point in French-Israeli relations is likely to lead to surprising developments. The editors speculate that, As an election year paralyzes the US, a new French policy could fill the void in helping to formulate a new Israeli-Palestinian interim settlement and maybe even a comprehensive Israeli-Arab settlement, and remark that, France is discovering the advantages of balance and Israel is discovering France.
Hatzofeh refers to a recent incident in which the French Jewish organizers of a Paris benefit for the welfare of IDF soldiers were asked by the authorities to change the venue of the event and adopt a lower profile, without overt Israeli or IDF symbols. The editors suspect that, Anti-Semitic organizations – certainly those backed by Palestinians – are threatening the organizers that they will attack the venue and those coming to the event, and believe that, Despite that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has – in recent months – been letting it be known that it is preferable to fight Jews, as opposed to terror, and that one must capitulate to terror at any price, Jewish communities must not show weakness towards their persecutors.
