Politicians of every party, except the Communists, protested De Gaulle's condemnation of Israel. Defense Minister Pierre Messmer and Minister of State Pierre Billotte particularly deplored French policy during the crisis; so did Gaullist Coalition Partner Giscard d'Estaing, leader of the independent Republican Party.
