Is remarriage to a foreigner something that would help a divorced mother with custody of young children get permission from an Israeli court to relocate abroad with them?

Yes, it would be a legitimate reason, but the court would still have to be shown that relocation would be in the children's welfare /interest as this is the paramount factor in its decision making process.  

The mother has a right to a personal life and her wish to remarry should be respected, but she should also show that  her prospective husband cannot live in Israel e.g. for business/professional or other reasons.
