yes, Palestinians explicitly say that wearing a kufeyyeh as a sign of solidarity is encouraged. See the FAQ:
https://kufiya.org/faq/
"The keffiyeh can be worn by anyone in support of the Palestinian cause. In fact, Palestinians love to see people from around the world expressing support through this meaningful fabric. When you choose to wear a Keffiyeh made in Palestine, it means you are aware of its cultural significance and are benefiting its original community. Whereas, wearing an imitation just for fashion, without any connection to its roots, can be considered cultural appropriation."
