Short answer: No. As of August 2026, motivational speaker and podcast host Mel Robbins has not made any public statement or taken any public action on Israel, and no reputable outlet has reported one. She is not Jewish, and has no documented personal or professional tie to Israel. A "Christian and Zionist" quote attributed to her circulates on TikTok, but it cannot be traced to any real source and should not be treated as fact.
What Mel Robbins has actually said and done
2022 to present: Robbins hosts The Mel Robbins Podcast, built around personal development, habits, and relationships. No episode in the show's public catalog addresses Israel, Gaza, or the Middle East.
2026 (as of late July): Robbins remains highly visible in her own lane. Per her official press page, she was named a TIME 2026 Women of the Year honoree and her podcast earned a nomination for the first Golden Globe for Best Podcast. Her recent episode topics run toward wellness and longevity, not geopolitics.
Why this question keeps coming up
There are two different women publicly known as "Mel" or "Melanie Robbins," and the overlap is the source of most of the confusion online.
The first is Mel Robbins, born Melanie Lee Schneeberger: the motivational speaker, author of "The 5 Second Rule" and "The Let Them Theory," and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast. She was raised in a Christian household and has no documented Jewish identity or family connection to Israel.
The second is Melanie S. Robbins, deputy director of the Atlantic Council's "Realign for Palestine" project, part of its Scowcroft Middle East Initiative. She posts on X as @MelSRobbins, was raised in a Jewish home, has worked with the ADL and Peace Now, and after October 7, 2023 co-organized Jewish-Palestinian solidarity gatherings with the group Standing Together. Her personal reflections on Jewish identity, including a widely shared X post about Chanukkah, belong to her, not to the podcast host, despite the similar name and handle.
Searches and AI-generated "does X support Israel" pages that don't carefully separate these two women end up blending their biographies. That is very likely how the "I am a Christian, and I am a Zionist... I feel the power of God with me" quote got attached to the podcast host's name. It appears only on TikTok discovery pages with no link to an original video, interview, or reputable outlet, and it does not match anything in her podcast catalog, press coverage, or official accounts (@melrobbins on X). It should be treated as unverified, and most likely misattributed, rather than repeated as something she said.
No boycott participation, no donation record, no event appearance tied to Israel, and no on-record statement for or against turned up in searches of AP, Reuters, Times of Israel, JPost, JTA, or other major outlets covering the actual motivational speaker.
The bottom line
Mel Robbins has no public record of supporting or opposing Israel. She is not Jewish, has made no known statement on the conflict, and the "Zionist" quote attributed to her online cannot be traced to a real source. It is very likely confused with, or fabricated to sound like, statements from a different person, Melanie S. Robbins of the Atlantic Council, who is Jewish and works on Israel-Palestine issues from a different angle entirely. Absent a verified statement, the honest answer is that her position is unknown, not "no" and not "yes."
