The person I am talking about almost always spends Pesach in the US, 
and, in recent years, has spent both Pesach, Succos, RH and YK in the 
US.  Given this, I really see no reason why he does not conduct 
himself as an American (which he and his wife are by birth)  who 
lives primarily in America.

I find it hard to believe that someone who owns an apartment in EY 
which he uses for a month or two a year, even if he spends all of the 
Yomim Tovim in EY,  is to conduct himself as an Israeli.  It seems to 
me that he is an American tourist who happens to have a fixed place 
to stay in EY whenever he goes to EY.
