Israel has formally asked France to close the PLO office in Paris and to expel its representative, Ibrahim Suss. Ambassador Meir Rosenne of Israel handed this request to the head of the Middle East desk at the Quai d’Orsay, Marc Bonnefous, himself a former French Ambassador to Israel. French sources said it was “highly unlikely” that the government would close the PLO office. They said it was the third such Israeli request in recent months.
