Following a devastating fire five years ago, the restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral is nearing completion as the world's attention turns to Paris for the Olympic Games.

Macron aims to boost the nation's morale and his government's approval ratings through the cathedral's restoration.

The reopening is set for December and is progressing as planned, as confirmed by the project's official leader.

The project's total cost of 550 million euros has been partly covered by substantial donations, including contributions from billionaires in the luxury sector.

Quick Glance: Security Concerns Prompt Alternatives for France's Olympic Opening Ceremony

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.

Expressing confidence, Macron believes the anticipated Games ceremony with large crowds by the Seine, involving around 160 boats embarking on a 6 km journey, will be a significant achievement.

The leadership of the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams approves of the security arrangements along the Seine for the opening ceremony, according to the team's security head, Nicole Deal.

Quick Glance: Macron: France and Allies Could Have Stopped Rwanda Genocide

French President Emmanuel Macron believes France and its Western and African allies could have stopped the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the will to do so, according to the presidency.

Macron highlights that the international community had the means to act at the time, drawing on historical experiences of genocide in WWII and WWI.

In a video message for the 30th anniversary of the genocide, Macron will state that France and its allies had the capacity to prevent the genocide but lacked the necessary determination.

Despite recognizing France's role in the genocide, Macron will not attend the commemorations in Kigali but will be represented by the French Foreign Minister.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.
