The French Republic has been making headlines recently due to President Emmanuel Macron's strong stance on international issues. Macron's comments on the conflict in Ukraine, where he warned of dire consequences if Russia were to prevail, have garnered attention. Additionally, the French Senate hosting a surgeon who treated patients during Israel's war on Gaza has sparked interest in the country's diplomatic relations.
