Darmanin accused Benzema of having &#8220;bad reputation&#8221; connections with the Muslim Brotherhood.<\/p>\n<p>Benzema&#8217;s lawyer, Hugues Vigier, rejected the accusations against the renowned footballer, stating that they had tarnished the &#8220;honor and reputation&#8221; of the football player, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/karim-benzema-takes-french-interior-minister-court-defamation-case\"> Middle East Eye<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vigier emphasized that Benzema has &#8220;no connection&#8221; whatsoever with the Muslim Brotherhood or any of its members.<\/p>\n<p>Benzema&#8217;s solidarity with Gaza prompted the minister&#8217;s accusations. This came after Benzema, the winner of the 2022 Ballon d&#8217;Or, posted a message of support for the Palestinians in Gaza on the platform formerly known as Twitter (now called &#8220;X&#8221;), amidst the Israeli war on the region. The post read, &#8220;All our prayers for the residents of Gaza who are once again victims of this oppressive bombing that spares neither women nor children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Benzema shared the message a week after the start of the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the death of at least 24,000 Palestinians, including 10,500 children.<\/p>\n<p>Before filing the case, Vigier clarified that Benzema was expressing his &#8220;natural empathy&#8221; towards the war crimes occurring in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The French minister criticized Benzema for not showing support for the Israelis killed in Hamas attacks on October 7. Benzema&#8217;s lawyer filed a 92-page complaint against the French minister before the Court of Justice, the only court in France where lawsuits can be filed against government officials still in office.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5198\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5198\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5198 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Karim-Benzema-sues-the-French-Interior-Minister.jpg\" alt=\"In solidarity with Gaza, his exposure to targeting...
