[Saba Sports News] Following the escalation of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, French football star Karim Benzema made some
political remarks on social media. However, his comments faced strong criticism
from certain members of the French Parliament. These MPs expressed their
dissatisfaction, claiming that Benzema’s loyalty to the French national team is
solely driven by financial gain and sporting achievements. Additionally, they
even insinuated his alleged connections with foreign politicians. Despite the
backlash, Benzema also received support from numerous fans who appreciated his
stance on protecting women and children, considering it an important and
correct ideology.
