- Cristophe Bigot, France's new ambas- sador to Israel, told Israel's President Shimon Peres last week of his government's support for the release of Gilad Shalit, the IDF soldier held hostage by Hamas in Gaza; of France's opposition to a nuclear Iran; and of its desire to see Israeli-Palestinian negotiations advance.
Bigot, who was presenting his credentials to Peres, had previously served in Israel as deputy head of the French mission from 2004-07.
