I like that idea immensely!
If America were to ever seriously even consider statehood for Israel, it would drive much of the other countries bananas!
That sort of proposal would make Trump Derangement Syndrome
look like a Baby Shower preceded by a Picnic.

In 1972 Buckley famously proposed that Israel become the 51st American state, pointing out that Jerusalem is no more geographically remote from Washington than Anchorage or Honolulu. The arrangement, Buckley argued, would forever put to rest Israeli security fears: “If Israel becomes a part of the United States, there is no further question of attacking the state of Israel – as well attack the city of Chicago.” To expedite statehood, Buckley wrote, a “resolution should be introduced in Congress and a national debate should begin. Put me down in favor.”
