In South America there are many long routes with narrow bodies and TLV is just not so important to LX.
I need to disapoint you here, TLV is a key destination for LH Group it also has one of the highest number of SEN and HON ratios outside of it's home markets. With this move LH Group, who at least offered on LX a Premium product (with the occasional downgrades) might loose some clientele to BA, TK, IB, AC, CX or UA.
When you buy a Business Class ticket, you don't want to end up in a Economy Seat with a empty middle seat on a 4 hours + flight, of which many passengers are connecting futher. If this thread doesn't interest you, no one forces you to read it.
Concerning the catering in Business Class o this route, which is nothing special (Europe catering) + the LX 253 catering loaded in TLV is even worse, the only thing making it justified to fly in Business Class is the seat. Hot meals will continue to be served in Business Class, but not in Economy Class due to limited Galley / ovens on the A32S fleet, since they were concipated to be used on short haul flights and not medium haul flights of 4 hours +.
