No. Hebrew is in the Semitic language family, and is related to:

  • Arabic
  • Aramaic
  • Amharic
  • Tigrinya
  • Maltese
  • Syriac
  • And some extinct languages, such as Ugaritic, Phoenician, and Canaanite.

It has many commonalities with Aramaic (the lingua franca throughout Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Lebanon during ancient times, and the language of Jesus), and to a lesser degree, Arabic.

Modern Hebrew, has gone under some European influence but still is considered completely Semitic.
