Great taxes and fees. $900 is more common when ticketing with BA, QF etc.

You can not demand a re-routing. If TLV-BUD-MAD is on on ticket then they need to get you to MAD even if you miss your connection. This can be done by putting you on the next flight or possibly by re-routing. In any case, this is the airlines responsibility and you would not be charged for this.

The best way will be to do this with the issuing airline to avoid problems.
