Ritika Sajdeh’s ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ Post Triggers Controversy

Ritika Sajdeh, wife of Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, sparked controversy by sharing a post on Instagram with the phrase ‘All eyes on Rafah’ in support of Palestinians during the recent conflict in Gaza. However, she faced backlash from some social media users who accused her of selectivity in her activism. The post was deleted shortly after. The phrase ‘All eyes on Rafah’ emerged as Israel launched fresh attacks in Gaza, despite ongoing international criticism and a court order to stop airstrikes. Rafah, the southernmost exit point of Gaza, is home to over a million people, half of Gaza’s population. Over 1.4 million Palestinians have sought shelter due to the conflict.
