The striker says he is in accordance with the decision by the French Football Federation after it was announced he was no longer available for selectionKarim Benzema and Real Madrid state they respect the decision to ban the striker from international duty and possibly Euro 2016.
French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet announced on Thursday that Benzema would be suspended until the conclusion of a legal investigation surrounding his alleged involvement in a plot to blackmail international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
The 27-year-old has been charged with complicity in an attempt to blackmail and participating in a criminal conspiracy, but denies the charges.
Benzema took to Twitter to post his response stating: "I respect the decision and have confidence in our president Noel Le Graet."
The forward had already expressed his wishes to be part of Didier Deschamps's squad at next summer’s European Championship on home soil.
Madrid also acknowledged the decision by the FFF, and took time out to give their support to the 27-year-old.
An official statement read: "Real Madrid C. F. regrets, but respects the decision taken today by the French Football Federation to provisionally suspend Karim Benzema from the France national team, and wishes to reiterate once more its support for and confidence in the player."
