All Eyes on Rafah

"All Eyes on Rafah" is a pro-Palestinian political slogan during the Gaza war and Rafah offensive, mostly used on social media.

The phrase derives from a comment made by Richard "Rik" Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization's representative for Gaza and the West Bank, when he told journalists at the UN in February 2024 that "All eyes are on Rafah". 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.

The hashtag #alleyesonrafah has been featured in videos viewed millions of times on TikTok, and the slogan has been used internationally at protests.
