The French Cabinet decided at a meeting here yesterday, under the chairmanship of President de Gaulle, to end “the policy of active aid to Israel,” the influential daily, L’Aurore, claimed today.

Attributing its report to “usually well-informed sources,” the newspaper stated: “Israel no longer enjoys the good graces of the Government. The long-term policy of active help is finished.”

L’Aurore asserted that the general tone of the Cabinet meeting, which discussed in detail reports received last week from Cairo, Bonn and Tel Aviv, was one inclined to “let Israel find its own modus vivendi with her neighbors, or no longer count on us.” There was neither confirmation nor denial of the report from official government sources.
