Benzema’s hiding something, says French minister in Islamist row

Footballer Karim Benzema had earlier posted his prayers and support for Gaza residents.

French interior minister Gerald Darmanin accused Karim Benzema of links with Islamists after the footballer posted support for Gazans.

The bombings were triggered by an attack by Palestinian group Hamas, who stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Oct 7 and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians, kidnapping 222 others. “You might ask why the interior minister reacts to the tweet of a footballer, but when he touches 20 million people I think it’s my role to denounce that,” Darmanin told an audience of French community leaders during a trip to Abu Dhabi.

Islamist “separatism” can show itself in various ways including through charities, teaching and music, as well as “athletes who subscribe to a Salafist ideology, close to the Muslim Brotherhood”, Darmanin added.
