While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unfortunately divides public opinion, Karim Benzema spoke this Sunday, October 15, 2023, to support the victims of Gaza since the offensive launched by Israel in response to the Hamas attack on October 7. “All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children” wrote the former Real Madrid striker who now plays in Saudi Arabia with the Al-Ittihad club.
Very quickly, this speech was strongly commented on. Guest on RMC At the microphone of Apolline de Malherbe this Monday, October 16, sports journalist Daniel Riolo spoke, for example. “While he is a French citizen, it seems to me: the French teacher doesn’t care, since he doesn’t pay him homage. If Israel really poses a problem for him and it really makes him nauseous… But at least a message for the French teacher? Nothing at all” he lamented, emphasizing the fact that Karim Benzema did not pay the slightest tribute to Dominique Bernard, the French teacher killed in Arras by a terrorist two days earlier. And to add: “The civilians in Gaza who are dying, we can have a thought for them. But it’s clearly showing up and taking sides”.
Géraldine Maillet attacks Karim Benzema live in TPMP
The same evening, Géraldine Maillet, who is none other than the companion of Daniel Riolo, was faithful to her position as columnist on C8. On the set of “Touch my post”while this famous message from Karim Benzema was mentioned, the pretty brunette gave her opinion which is obviously the same as her darling.
“This is an extremely political tweet. He is not tweeting as a French citizen affected by a terrorist attack that took place in France, or he is not tweeting for the victims who were murdered in Israel, I am talking about the French who were assassinated in Israel… With this political tweet, he is choosing his side. He who is such a symbol in France for millions of young people, who recognize themselves in Karim Benzema, who dream of being Karim Benzema… for me I think that this tweet is problematic” she analyzed.
