Ummmm folks...

A big difference is that on the way back to TLV there are a lot of places they could divert if the situation deteriorated. Above the Atlantic, not so much.

And at TLV they likely have anothe rplane to put the pax on. Even LHR-JFK would likely be challenging to reaccomodate that many pax. Plus you need a slot at LHR.
