Geopolitical Piece regarding Iran and Kharg Island and other options

So I have a lot of serious questions, I imagine this post will be rather long - skip if uninterested already. That being said, I am not an Ethiopian and am trying to understand the region. I am not asking here for your personal opinions, but rather how you perceive to be the general public opinion of your fellow Ethiopians, either at home or in the diaspora. I really really really appreciate any serious answers to all of the questions. That being said:

1. It is understood that Israel is said to have relatively decent/good relations with Israel - but how to do the people feel about this. Geopolitically, I understand they share Egypt as a potential enemy, and I understand that culturally there is some cross-over; the Ethiopian royal family rests its legitimacy essentially on being descendants from King Solomon, the Christianity of the Horn of Africa from what I understand keeps the same day of rest and also refrains from eating pig. Beyond those however, are the people positive re Israel, indifferent, or hostile?
2. What is going on with the Ethiopian constitution? When I read the history with the geography and multitude of peoples, it seems like a constitution that enshrines ethnic autonomy to a degree - which is not per say a bad thing inherently - will always eventually encourage or give a green light to ethnic separatist movements when they feel the system is against them or using the government as a sort of lobbying for ethnic interests solely when it works with them. Is this what is essentially playing out between the tigray, amhara, and oromo - or am I missing something? (I understand that each group can levy against the others atrocities and abuses that those have committed in the past - the question is more how do you perceive the constitution as either assuaging that or just encouraging it to continue)
3. What is going on with Eritrea? OK, I understand that Eritrea has a somewhat different history, colonial rule, then federation, then independence etc. And I understand that without Eritrea - Ethiopia is without a coastline. I also get that Eritrea is a bit wary of potential Ethiopian assault to retake the port (Assab) and cites Ethiopian political dialogue to validate it. I get the bad blood. What I don't understand is Eritrea's development/responses; i.e. when Ethiopia signed an MoU with Somaliland re its ports, shouldn't they have celebrated it? I mean, it would only relieve the pressure of potential Ethiopian attack on their own ports. And Eritrea denounced it and aligned itself closer to Turkey/Egypt. That kind of makes me think that Eritrea is actively seeking some kind of conflict, or their political goals is essentially make everyone around me weaker rather than, lets get rich together
4. Also regarding Eritrea and the Tigray War - did Eritrea really join the side of Ethiopia in that? It seems contrary to their positions of keeping Ethiopia weak - why not let help a separatist movement against your very large and strong perceived threat? And aren't the Tigray and Tigrinya - the majority of Eritreans - essentially cousins? Same language, different sides of the river kind of story? So together, their hostility towards Ethiopia plus their support against the Tigray is kind of incoherent? Am I reading this incorrectly?
5. What do you think happens after Afwerki dies? It seems to be Ethiopia's largest foreign policy pain right now. Would Ethiopia move to attack after his death, is there a particular party/resistance group Ethiopians would rather see in power in Eritrea if not back under Ethiopian rule? And along those lines, I became aware of an Aga'azian Movement in Israel amongst Eritrean diaspora...they seem to want reconciliation with Ethiopia and some kind of referendum re Tigray...seems like a better partner for Ethiopia - are they spoken of or known about in Ethiopian circles?
