Indian celebrities reject Modi's pro-Israel stance by raising voices for Rafah

Several Indian celebrities have joined the global outcry against Israel's attack on Rafah to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.

The Bollywood, Mollywood, and Tollywood stars have rejected Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pro-Israel stance with their support for Palestine.

The "All Eyes on Rafah" template has gone viral on social media, with over 22.2 million reshares on Instagram in less than 24 hours. 

The phrase has become a rallying support for those demanding an end to Israel's war on Gaza, which has already claimed numerous lives, including women and children.

Indian celebrities, including actors, actresses, singers, fashion designers, models, and athletes, have shared the template on their social media accounts, urging their followers to join the campaign and stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

The support from Indian stars came as Israel unleashed its latest attack on Rafah, killing and injuring dozens.

At least 41 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed, and dozens were injured after Israeli warplanes bombed tents housing people who had been displaced from other parts of the besieged strip over the past seven months.
