Israel's law of return guarantees citizenship to all Jews. (There are issues and debates about the definition of who is a Jew, and how you prove you are Jewish.)

What Israeli law brought Jews to Israel from many countries?

The Jewish Law of Return of 1950. It should be noted that the Law of Return does not provide any mechanism nor describes one for the bringing of foreign Jews into Israel. As such the Law does not cause Jews to come to Israel. Israel has conducted missions to certain countries such as Yemen and Ethiopia to bring those populations to Israel, but these are military missions in no way legally related to the Law of Return.
