LAX-LHR-TLV or LAX-LAS-LHR-TLV business class is still available for ~2,200 r/t; brings ~30k EQM. Available through the end of the year and beyond. You can book a combination of AA and BA-operated flights. I'd avoid BA268 LAX-LHR that uses A380, as its business cabin is not the best. Though .. it is still a lie-flat business class seat.
ETA: If booking though BA, AARP and Chase discounts bring the price down to $1,800 r/t.
