Not really.

Jehovah's Witnesses are fundamentally opposed to the concept of nations and politics. They maintain that all believers in all places should form local communities and self-administer according to the light of God. However, they hold that it is imperative that all Jews congregate in the Land of Israel to being about the Second Coming of Jesus. So, while they do not support Israel's existence (because they do not support the existence of any nation), they do support Israel's policies in regards to bringing Jews to Israel from afar.

Also, Israel and Lebanon are the only countries in that area of the Middle East that permit Jehovah's Witnesses to practice, which makes Jehovah's Witnesses more likely to favor Israel than the neighboring Arab States which have banned their practice. Several Arab States have argued that Jehovah's Witnesses (like any ideology that they do not like) are Zionists in order to justify this infringement of religious freedom. Some other countries that ban Jehovah's Witnesses, like China and Vietnam do not make the same argument.
