France is facing a political stalemate after the parliamentary elections resulted in a fragmented parliament. The left-wing coalition, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, emerged as the largest bloc with 187 seats, but fell short of a majority.
President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance secured 159 seats, while Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally surprised with 142 seats. Despite the divided parliament, Mélenchon declared the left's readiness to govern.
The political deadlock has sparked concerns, particularly among minorities, as the far-right gains significant ground.
Mélenchon has also called for France to recognize the Palestinian state, adding to the complex political landscape.
