“All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children.” Karim Benzema showed his support for the Palestinian population on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Sunday October 15.
Eight days after the Hamas offensive against Israel and the conflagration of the conflict, the last Ballon d’Or is one of the first French athletes to react officially.
The 35-year-old football player, who arrived in Saudi Arabia last summer in the Al-Ittihad club, has regularly supported the Palestinian cause in numerous publications prior to 2023. Three days before him, another French international had taken the same position. “Unwavering support for the people of Palestine, for our brothers and sisters who have suffered apartheid for too long. May justice and peace return”, had written Nabil Fekir on.
