A number of French commercial firms which plan to participate in the forthcoming Tel Aviv Fair were reported today to have received warning letters from their agents in Lebanon of blacklisting if they did so.
One Jewish-owned firm sent the letter it received to the French Foreign Office and to the Franco-Israel Alliance whose president, Raymond Schmittelin, wrote to Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville and Maurice Schuman, President of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, on the question.
