Filed under: Tech companies · Companies that support Israel

Background

Lyft has no recorded donations, statements, investments or operations supporting Israel. The company operates ride-hailing only in the United States and Canada and has never operated in Israel. Israeli ministers and draft legislation in 2025–26 discussed opening the country's ride-hailing market to Uber and Lyft, but Lyft has not entered and has announced no plans to. Its corporate PAC shows no disbursements to pro-Israel committees, and the only 'Israel' matches in its SEC filings are the first name of hedge-fund investor Israel Englander (whose Millennium-affiliated entities filed a passive Schedule 13G stake in Lyft), conflict-minerals boilerplate, and proxy statements.
