Short answer: No. As of August 2026, Dua Lipa has been one of the most consistently outspoken pop stars against Israel's conduct in Gaza since October 2023, repeatedly calling it a "genocide," signing open letters urging ceasefires and an end to UK arms sales to Israel. There is no public record of her expressing support for Israel, visiting the country, performing there, or donating to Israeli causes.
What Dua Lipa has actually said and done
- May 2021: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's World Values Network ran a full-page New York Times ad accusing Dua Lipa, alongside Bella and Gigi Hadid, of antisemitism over her pro-Palestinian comments. Dua Lipa called it an "ugly campaign" that used her name "shamelessly" and said she "reject[s] all forms of racism," according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Times of Israel.
- Late October 2023: Signed the Artists4Ceasefire open letter to President Biden, one of roughly 120 entertainers, including Michael Stipe, Killer Mike, and Cate Blanchett, urging "an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel," per NME.
- January 17, 2024: In a Rolling Stone cover interview, said she does not "condone the actions of Hamas," that "all human lives are precious," including Israelis killed on October 7, and called for a "humanitarian cease-fire," saying not enough world leaders were taking a stand.
- May 28, 2024: Days after an Israeli strike on a Rafah displacement camp, posted on Instagram that "burning children alive can never be justified" and that "the whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide," using the #AllEyesOnRafah hashtag, as reported by Middle East Eye and The Hill.
- May 29, 2025: Joined more than 300 public figures, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Riz Ahmed, and Annie Lennox, organized by the charity Choose Love, in an open letter to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer demanding an end to "UK complicity" in Gaza and the suspension of UK arms sales to Israel, per Deadline and Euronews.
- September 22, 2025 (disputed): British tabloids reported that Dua Lipa dropped her longtime agent David Levy, who is Jewish, after he signed a letter urging Kneecap's removal from Glastonbury for their pro-Palestinian stance. Her agency WME called the report "categorically false" in a statement, saying Levy had stopped representing her since 2019, while Dua Lipa separately called it "deliberately inflammatory" on Instagram and added she did "not condone the actions of David Levy... toward an artist speaking their truth," according to Al Jazeera and Times of Israel. This story should be treated as contested rather than confirmed.
Who is Dua Lipa, and where does she stand?
Dua Lipa, born in London in 1995 to Kosovar Albanian parents who fled the Yugoslav wars, is not Jewish; her family's background is Muslim by tradition, though she has described this as cultural heritage rather than active religious practice. There is no documented connection to Jewish identity, Israel visits, Israeli brand or artist collaborations, or Israeli philanthropy in the public record. Her activism runs consistently in one direction: an October 2023 ceasefire letter, a January 2024 interview balancing sympathy for October 7 victims with a ceasefire demand, a May 2024 "genocide" post tied to the Rafah strike, and a May 2025 letter pushing the UK to end arms sales to Israel. The September 2025 agent story is the one genuinely disputed point, reported by multiple outlets but explicitly denied by Dua Lipa and WME, and it deserves to be held separately from the settled facts above.
The bottom line
Dua Lipa does not support Israel's actions in Gaza and has taken no public actions, statements, or collaborations that would count as support for Israel. Her public record since 2023 is consistently pro-Palestinian advocacy, ceasefire calls, and criticism of Israel's military campaign, with the one contested claim (the 2025 agent story) explicitly denied by her and her team. No public evidence was found either way regarding a formal Israel boycott, an Israel visit, or a Jewish-identity connection; those are simply absent from the record, not confirmed negatives.
