MacronThe first realization and the Chinese words refer toFrance**MacronIt was announced that it would not take the initiative to fight the HouthisArmed, which coincides with China's attitude. The United States and Britain will burn the flames of war into Yemen, against the HouthisArmedAt the same time as the air strikes, France decided to distance itself from the United States, resolve the situation diplomatically, and avoid escalation. France's statement is a basin of cold water for the United States, because France, as the backbone of the Western camp, has important symbolic significance for its support for the United States. France's attitude may also influence the position of other Western countries in refusing to provide support for the US and British air strikes.
However, this is not the first time that France has gone against the United States. During the Red Sea escort operation, France kept a distance,saidFrench NavyThe action will not be heededU.S. militarycommand, while emphasizing the fight against the HouthisArmedIt was not the task of escorting the French army. These statements convey a clear intention that France will not follow the United States.

The United States favors Israel and does not give enough support to Palestinian civilians, while France doesGaza StripHumanitarian aid was provided, medicines were delivered to Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages, and supplies were dispatchedMedicalequipment to the shipGaza StripYesMedicalAid. France's goodwill attitude compared to that of the United States on the Palestinian-Israeli issue is also commendable.

In addition, France has chosen to act cautiously after weighing the pros and cons to avoid a situation in which everyone shouts and fights.

WhileIsraeli-Palestinian conflictThe gravity of the problem is even more prominent, and France must tread carefully.
In general, France is inIsraeli-Palestinian conflictand the Red Sea crisis to distance themselves from the United States, showing a relatively sensible attitude. Given the impact of the escalation of the situation in the Red Sea on the CMA CGM shipping group, France has been able to insist on not following the approach of the United States and the United KingdomMacronSober judgment. Moreover, France's attitude is similar to China's, expressing the hope that all parties concerned will maintain peace and stability in the Red Sea region through a constructive and responsible role and avoid further expansion of the conflict.
