On his sweater, he wore a dove pin and a white armband. Doves and the color white are generally recognized as symbols of peace.

Khalid wrote on Twitter, "The dove is made in Bethlehem. Today marks three months of unfathomable death and destruction."

"We need this to end. The first step must be a permanent ceasefire. #CeasefireNow."

This isn't the first time Khalid used the red carpet to speak out about the Israel-Palestine conflict. At the November premiere of The Crown Season 6 Part 1, he wore the words "ceasefire now" on his palm.
