After that, Senator Valérie Boyer demanded that Benzema be deprived of French nationality and the Ballon d’Or. In France, they were unhappy that the footballer did not condemn the crimes of Hamas militants against Israelis and French citizens, who also suffered from them.
An MEP criticized Benzema and described his behavior as “shocking”.
“I find it a shame that Benzema did not condemn terrorism. He understands perfectly what he writes. He is aware of the resonance that his words will have in France, in the Arab-Muslim world, among the madmen of our territory who are Islamists.
Benzema must take responsibility. He has a response among young people, he has a duty. And this duty does not only consist of receiving millions for goals,” quotes the RMC Sport MP.
