She needs a visitor's visa from the US Embassy and she will only get it if she can prove that she has ties to Israel as her home country and does not intend to immigrate to the US.

She needs a b2 visa. However, she will be denied if there is a risk that she will stay in the U.S.

If she has already been denied for a visitor visa before, it would be difficult to get any subsequent visa application approved unless there are changed circumstances. Besides applying for a visitor visa, you could petition for her to get a fiancee visa, or you could marry her and petition for her as your spouse.
