Karim Benzema insulted in five languages by ex-Israel goalkeeper for Gaza support

Karim Benzema offered his support to the Palestinian people in a message on social media on Sunday – but the Real Madrid legend received an abusive response in five languages from former Israel goalkeeper Dudu Aouate.

Benzema, who now plays his football in Saudi Arabia with Pro League side Al-Ittihad after spending 14 successful years in Spain with Los Blancos, is one of the few footballers to have publicly supported Palestine following the recent unrest in the Middle East.

“All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare neither women nor children,” the French forward wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The ex-Mallorca, Racing Santander and Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper quoted Benzema’s post and said: “You are a big son of a bitch.”

The 45-year-old might not want to check his notifications, though, because his insults to Benzema were greeted with numerous replies featuring Palestinian flags.

According to Palestinian health ministry sources, over 2,000 people have been killed in Gaza and the West Bank following the recent attacks.
