‘The Crown’ Actor Khalid Abdalla Says He’s Been Called for U.K. Police Interview Over Pro-Palestine Protest


'The Crown' star says he's been summoned by London's Metropolitan Police over his involvement in a pro-Palestine protest in January.

Khalid Abdalla, the British actor best known recently for playing Dodi Fayed in “ The Crown,” has said he’s been summoned by London’s Metropolitan police to a “formal interview” over his participation in a pro-Palestine march that took place in the U.K. capital earlier this year. In a post on social media, Abdalla — who also starred in “The Day of the Jackal,” “United 93” and “The Kite Runner,” and was a key part of Netflix’s Oscar-winning documentary “The Square” about the Arab Spring — said that he received a letter “relating to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign protest of Jan 18th,” adding that it “remains to be seen if this will result in charges.” Abdalla addressed the rally in London, which was held the day after a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas was signed and attracted several thousand protestors.
