French Resistance to De Gaulle Neutrality in Middle East Crisis
French informants say officials challenged President De Gaulle's neutral stance, with near revolt among military leaders and talk of Pierre Messmer resigning. The policy cut Israel off from air force gear and spares while Arab states gained Soviet and Communist support. Algeria’s ties with France also strengthened though links to Israel weakened. Some fear Arab regimes like Egypt and Syria are fragile and Algeria may swing pro-Communist. Militant concerns argued arms cutoff could undermine France's arms sales policy.
