Mostly if BA are going to cancel a flight, they would do so 2 weeks before departure for obvious reasons. So at this point you're into unlikely territory. At that point you are probably best to check this forum at the time, to see what the options are on other carriers. Broadly BA is supposed to rebook you on the next flight in the same cabin, if there is space, or to offer a refund. It doesn't have to be on another airline, but there is guidance that a same day flight is expected and that therefore could mean alternative airlines, including of course those direct services from TLV to NYC. BA contact centres can do that for same day cancellations. If there is a cancellation it would usually become evident from the departure of the LHR-TLV service, since it has to return to London at some point. I wouldn't overthink this, despite the importance of arriving as planned. There are too many variables and almost all of them are unlikely. Just have access to FT available, a list of BA contact centre telephone numbers and perhaps check the night before what plan B could look like in terms of alternative services.
