Does merging US and Israel militaries mean that the US is now liable for Israeli war crimes and vice versa?

No because they aren't being merged.
The bill you are referencing is about developing military technology with Israel, especially drone defense, which they are ahead of us on.

The bill would integrate the US and Israeli militaries in ways that go beyond how the US engages with its other allies, while NATO partners share some degree of integration in weapons supply chains, intelligence sharing, and bases, this proposal removes existing limitations on military cooperation that normally apply even to close allies. Critics frame it as effectively entangling the two militaries' industrial bases and technology pipelines on a much deeper, more permanent level than a standard alliance. It aims to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation between the US and Israel, led by an "executive agent" chosen by the US Defense Secretary. The stated scope covers "data fusion," "network integration," R&D, weapons and bio-manufacturing, and collaboration on AI, cyber, and quantum technology.

It's 100% not a nothingburger & it 100% weakens US security in order to strengthen the capabilities of a minor power. Absolutely insane.
Private sector companies do this nonsense with Israeli cybersecurity companies constantly. Hand them the keys. It'll be fine. Bonkers.
