Our prayers are with the victims in Gaza: French footballer Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema, a world-famous football player from France, has issued a statement in favor of the people of Gaza.

Karim took to X (former Twitter) to say, “Our prayers go out to the local people of Gaza who are once again being subjected to an unjust bombardment from which even children and women are not safe”.

Toutes nos prières pour les habitants de Gaza victimes une fois de plus de ces bombardements injustes qui n’épargnent ni femmes ni enfants.

Israel has been heavily bombarding Gaza for the past nine days, in which more than 2,600 people have been martyred and more than 10,000 have been injured.

American President Joe Biden has called Israel’s attack on Gaza as their right to defend themselves and said that the elimination of Hamas is necessary. However Biden has also warned Israel that ground action on Gaza would be a ‘big mistake’.
