Ramy Youssef calls for a free Palestine during his Saturday Night Live monologue

Ramy Youssef used his Saturday Night Live monologue to make a statement about Palestine. Hosting SNL for the first time last weekend, the Egyptian American comedian and actor concluded his monologue on a serious note after sharing an anecdote about two friends asking for prayers - one because he's in court fighting with his ex over their dog, and another because his entire family is in Gaza. Youssef described praying for God to "stop the violence" and "free the people of Palestine," adding, "Please free the hostages. All the hostages. Please."
