British actor Khalid Abdalla, best known for his portrayal of Dodi Al-Fayed in The Crown, penned “Never Again” on his hand at the 2024 Emmy Awards, advocating for an end to the ongoing violence in Palestine.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” Abdalla wrote on his Twitter handle, quoting Martin Luther King Jr. The Emmys this year coincided with Martin Luther King Jr Day and the ceremony concluded with an excerpt from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Abdalla also called for mourning the dead and fighting “like hell for the living”.
