Karim Benzema Faces Language Controversy Amid Support For Palestine

Karim Benzema, the former Real Madrid striker who now plays for Al Etihad, recently expressed his condolences for the tragic loss of innocent lives in Palestine. He took to Twitter to convey his sadness and offer support for those affected by the turmoil.

However, Dudu Aouate, a former La Liga player and the goalkeeper of the Israeli national team, accused the French citizen of using derogatory language in Hebrew, stating, “son of a b***h.” This revelation has stirred controversy, as Benzema’s comments appeared supportive of the Palestinian cause, but Aouate’s claim suggests a different sentiment.

The use of multilingual curses, involving Spanish, Arabic, French, English, and Hebrew, highlights the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict. It remains to be seen how this revelation will impact Benzema’s image and the ongoing discussions about the situation in the Middle East.
