Benzema has not yet responded to Darmanin, but we can imagine that he will do so soon. The former Real Madrid striker has never been shy about speaking out, and he is unlikely to change his mind on this issue.
This is not the first time that Benzema has been targeted this week, with former La Liga goalkeeper Dudu Aouate calling him a “son of a b****” after the Frenchman brought his support for the Palestinians amid the current unrest with Israel.
