Agreed in TLV case, but the question here is - can airlines afford to have a separate fleet just for these destinations? How many of them are there - and is there enough scope to utilise the aircraft properly?
Maybe in the future with entyr of new MoM types, as transatlantic narrowbody flying becomes feasible from European hubs, this can be reassessed....
