No it is an invasive pest from Asia

Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid, is a sap-sucking, hemipteran bug now in the taxonomic family Psyllidae. It is one of two confirmed vectors of citrus greening disease. It has a wide distribution in southern Asia and has spread to other citrus growing regions

It has wiped out Florida citrus. Has nothing to do with climate change

Greening disease (HLB) is damaging citrus in Israel too.

Citrus is also not native to Israel.
