Short answer: There is no public record of Saoirse Ronan making a statement about Israel, or of her signing any of the open letters, ceasefire petitions, or boycott campaigns that many of her fellow actors have joined since October 2023. As of July 2026, she appears to have stayed out of the Israel/Palestine conversation entirely.
What Saoirse Ronan has actually said and done
- October 2024: Promoting her WWII drama "Blitz" at the London Film Festival, Ronan told The Hollywood Reporter and Variety that filming a story about wartime London felt inescapable given the news of the day, with her director Steve McQueen noting that "the explosion of violence in the Middle East" during production, including the bombing of civilians in Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon, added urgency to the film. Ronan's own comments stayed on the film and on women's safety in wartime; she did not weigh in on Israel or the war itself.
- Ongoing: Ronan's name does not appear among the roughly 800 signatories of the Artists4Ceasefire letter, the industry petition that has drawn actors like Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Cate Blanchett since late 2023.
- December 2025: When more than 200 Irish musicians, actors, and writers, including Sally Rooney and members of Kneecap, signed the Irish Artists for Palestine letter covered by District Magazine and Nialler9, Ronan's name was not among the listed signatories.
- 2024: Multiple outlets, including The National, rounded up the celebrities who publicly called for a Gaza ceasefire that year. Ronan does not appear on those lists either.
Context: an Irish actress who has largely avoided the topic
Ronan, born in the Bronx in 1994 and raised in Ireland, works in an industry and a home country where public pro-Palestinian activism has been common since October 2023: Irish artists' collectives have organized multiple open letters, and high-profile Irish actors have spoken out on the conflict. Against that backdrop, Ronan's silence stands out as a choice rather than an oversight. Her public comments in this period, including the "Blitz" press tour, have focused on the film itself, on women's safety, and on her craft, not on the Israel/Palestine conflict specifically. No coverage found ties her to a visit to Israel, a donation to an Israeli or Palestinian cause, or a boycott campaign in either direction.
The bottom line
Based on the record available as of July 2026, Saoirse Ronan has not taken a public position on Israel. She has not signed the ceasefire letters or boycott petitions her peers have, and she has not made any statement of support for Israel either. Her public profile in this period is built entirely around her film work. Anyone claiming to know her personal views on Israel one way or the other is going beyond what she has actually said or done.
