I do think this is a federal issue. Presuming the relief funds are local, it's questionable whether foreign affairs fall under their prevue. I suppose the courts will have to decide.
Alternately, since BDS is clearly a foreign boycott, like the Arab states boycott of Israel, the federal government clearly can ban citizens from participating. Should the federal government wish to do so. Then cities, and many states wouldn't have to attempt to usurp their power.
Then again, maybe it's not usurping. I remember when margarine was illegal in Wisconsin

Two Hitler youths took refuge in a bank during the Beer Hall Putsch, as it was falling apart. The Jewish banker sheltered them, because they reminded him of his dead son. After the Putsch failed and they went their way, they left the Nazi Party and never had anything more to do with it (Konrad Heiden, Der Fuhrer, published 1948 in English, don’t remember which chapter and page).
