The atmosphere of friendship toward Israel which emanated from Gen. Charles de Gaulle’s Cabinet continued to hold true for the five new Ministers whose appointments were announced yesterday.

At least three of the five have on many occasions expressed positive attitudes toward Israel. They are: Robert Buron, new Minister of Public Works, who was scheduled to visit Israel shortly with an economic study mission; Eugene Thomas, Minister of Posts, who has been closely associated with ex-Premier Guy Mollet and his attitude toward Israel, and Edmond Michelle, Minister for Veterans Affairs.
