The Fischer-Chauvel Agreement was an agreement made in 1948 between the French and Israeli governments involving the status of French institutions in the newly founded State of Israel and claimed by France as "Domaine national français". The agreement was signed for Israel by Maurice Fischer (1903–1965), an Israeli diplomat in France at the time. As at 2005, the agreement has not been ratified by Israel.[1] The French claims are based on claimed acquisitions predating the formation of the State of Israel.
