"All Eyes on Rafah" is a pro-Palestinian political slogan during the Israel–Hamas war and Rafah offensive, mostly used on social media.[1][2][3]
The phrase derives from a comment made by Richard "Rik" Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization's representative for Gaza and the West Bank,[4][5][6] when he told journalists at the UN in February 2024 that "All eyes are on Rafah".[7] This extract from Peeperkorn's broadcast began to be shared when the Rafah offensive began in early May, and an AI-generated image of the slogan went viral on Instagram later that month.[7]
The hashtag #alleyesonrafah has been featured in videos viewed millions of times on TikTok,[8] and the slogan has been used internationally at protests.[7]
