Short answer: No. As of August 2026, Gigi Hadid, who is half Palestinian through her father Mohamed Hadid, has consistently supported the Palestinian cause rather than Israel. She has posted statements of solidarity with Palestinians since October 2023, donated to Palestinian relief organizations, and signed a ceasefire letter to President Biden. She has also said her advocacy is not meant to be antisemitic and has expressed care for Jewish friends, but she has taken no pro-Israel actions and made no pro-Israel statements.
What Gigi Hadid has actually said and done
October 10, 2023: Three days after the October 7 Hamas attack, Hadid posted on Instagram to her tens of millions of followers that "the terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with and does not do any good for the 'Free Palestine' movement." She wrote that she had "deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation," while stressing that none of her hopes for Palestinians "include the harm of a Jewish person," according to Rolling Stone.
Later in October 2023: Hadid shared a graphic on Instagram stating that "there is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians" and that "condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic." The Israeli government's official Instagram account publicly criticized the post, as reported by both Rolling Stone and The Hill.
October 2023: Hadid joined the Artists4Ceasefire campaign, signing an open letter to President Biden, alongside her sister Bella Hadid and other celebrities, calling for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza, according to The National.
November 28, 2023: Hadid apologized on Instagram after facing criticism for an earlier repost that falsely claimed Israel was the "only country in the world" holding children as prisoners of war and accused Israel of abduction, rape, and torture of Palestinians. She wrote that she "shared something that I did not fact check or deeply think about prior to reposting" and said she does "not stand behind the spreading of misinformation," per the Times of Israel and Haaretz.
June 2024: Gigi and Bella Hadid donated a combined $1 million, split evenly among four organizations aiding Palestinians in Gaza: Heal Palestine, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, and UNRWA, according to the Hollywood Reporter and the BBC.
Why Gigi Hadid's position looks the way it does
Gigi Hadid is half Palestinian. Her father, Mohamed Hadid, was born to a family displaced from Palestine (Nazareth) during the 1947-49 war and grew up partly as a refugee. Her mother, Yolanda Hadid, is Dutch and not Jewish. Gigi has no Jewish heritage, and there is no documented Israel visit, Israel-based business tie, or pro-Israel statement in the public record.
Her activism since October 2023 has centered on the Palestinian side of the conflict: statements of solidarity, a signed ceasefire letter, and the $1 million joint donation with her sister to Palestinian and Gaza relief organizations in June 2024. At the same time, she has taken care, in her own words, to separate criticism of the Israeli government from antisemitism, and she publicly apologized in November 2023 after amplifying an unverified and false claim about Israel.
One correction worth noting: a 2024 sneaker ad controversy tied to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre is sometimes attributed to Gigi in secondary coverage. That ad and the brand's apology involved Bella Hadid, not Gigi, so it is left out of Gigi's own record here. No new Gigi Hadid statement or action on Israel and Palestine surfaced in 2025 or 2026 as of this writing; the June 2024 donation remains the most recent major documented action.
The bottom line
Gigi Hadid does not support Israel. Her public record since October 2023, statements of solidarity with Palestinians, a signed ceasefire letter, and a $1 million donation to Palestinian relief groups, is consistently pro-Palestinian, and she has taken no pro-Israel actions or statements. She has, however, explicitly disavowed antisemitism and said her advocacy is not meant to harm Jewish people.
