Probably not, you just need to allow sufficient time and be prepared to take the risk of missing the flight.
There are 8 hours between the MEX-JFK arrival and the JFK-TLV takeoff.
This should be sufficient, even if I have to pick up the luggage and recheck them with LY, in addition to the US immigration process.
Still, you can never know what delays may happen, so I just wanted to see if there is anything else I can (or could) do, in order to minimize the risk.
Thank for your inputs.
