Karim Benzema, who won the prestigious Ballon d'Or a year ago, has recently faced accusations of links to a terrorist organization by the French Minister of Interior.

The football player Karim Benzema, of French-Algerian nationality, is once again in the spotlight, but this time due to an extracurricular issue linked to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Recently, the Government of France has made serious accusations against the player, directly implicating him with a transnational and terrorist Islamic organization. It was the Minister of the Interior of that country, Gérald Darmanin, who stated in an interview on CNews that the forward maintains links with the "Muslim Brotherhood" organization.

"Mr. Karim Benzema has notorious ties to the Muslim Brotherhood," stated the French authority, without providing further details or arguments, this Tuesday. The allegations arose after the former Real Madrid player expressed support for the citizens of the Gaza Strip through a post on his social media.
