Since QAS/Dan Hotels has the concession for non-LY lounges at T3, I just assumed that they could be contracted to operate a UC/PL on behalf of United, like Sodexo in the USA and contractors do overseas, but for whatever reason it won't work at TLV.
That lounge in TLV is not all that great but it's not that bad, either. I've seen plenty worse such as the ORD C concourse UC.
