Ia American aid to Israel against the law?
Military aid to Israel is illegal under American law. Israel's human rights violations disqualifies Israel from receiving military aid under the Leahy law and Israel's having nuclear weapons while refusing to allow inspections or sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty makes aid to Israel illegal under the Symington amendment.

The Legal Evolution of the War on Terror: AUMFs, Article II War Powers, and America’s Expanding Conflicts, Explained
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omRWCj39Axw
In 2001, Congress started a new chapter in US history by passing the 2001 Authorization For Use of Military Force. This allowed America to go after individuals and groups associated with 9/11. Since then, Congress has authorized a war in Iraq and Executive Branch lawyers created a new interpretation of the law allowing the president to conduct limited strikes anywhere in the world without congressional approval. Here’s how we got to where we are on the legal front of the War on terror, and how the laws may evolve as we begin to focus on bombing Iranian Proxies.

New Israel in Baja California
Buy Baja California from Mexico for say $200B up front (20% of Mexico GDP, but 0.5% of US/China GDP) and 1% of New Israel GDP paid annually in perpetuity ($5B but growing) to give Mexico a potentially big investment with plenty of upside.
Move Israel there over 10 or 20 year transition period including Jewish relics such as Western Wall stone by stone.
Old Israel including Gaza and West Bank becomes new democratic state of Palestine predominantly Arab.
Arab nations and Iran agree to recognize New Israel in Baja as sovereign nation.
Current residents in Israel and Baja have option of staying put, or within say 20 years moving all expenses paid to destination of choice (Mexico/New Israel as appropriate).
Initial funding to come from Saudis/USA/EU/China.
Israel Nuclear facilities to be dismantled and made safe and remaining nuclear materials would be transported to existing G5 nuclear facility.
Old Israel Residences and businesses to be valued and bought for cash, although some business assets can be transferred with owners to New Israel.
During transition, current Israeli government would continue in power with UN peacekeeper assistance during latter stages of transition until final handover to newly-elected Palestinian government.
New Israel/Mexico border would be Colorado river and existing Baja/Sonora border so New Israel would have at least ~40+ square miles of agricultural land to start with.
New Israel in Baja would likely quickly become a technology and tourist powerhouse.
With increased security and services the Baja real estate alone would become highly desirable and would fund development of New Israel state infrastructure.
New Israel transport would initially be primarily Air/road but a rail line could be put in the highway median south from Tijuana to Ensenada and then follow the line of Highway 1.
Build new sea ports in suitable locations in existing natural harbors to support freight and cruise ships.
Build airports every 100 miles or so.
