Your friend could sell his chametz in either Israel or America, provided
that he makes the proper arrangements with his Rabbi.  My father sells
chametz every year for a number of people who travel to Israel
by selling it a day earlier than he sells the rest of the chametz.
Similarly, a rabbi in Israel can 
make arrangements to sell your friend's chametz for one day longer
than everyone else's.
