The French Foreign Ministry today issued a communique in which it once again denied that France has ever sold any of its new Mystere jet fighters to Israel. The Ministry communique said:
“The Ministry feels it necessary to reaffirm in most categorical fashion that no airplane of the type known as Mystere has ever been delivered by France to Israel. There is, therefore, no question that any such plane could actually be in service in the Israel Air Force.”
