OP: If you can re-position yourself to Washington, DC, you can fly IAD-MAD-TLV in Business Class on Iberia on April 23, arriving TLV late on the 24th for 55,250 British Airways Avios + $165. Because BA charges separately for each flight flown, you could even stop over for a day or two in MAD for no additional Avios, as Business Class award availability from MAD to TLV seems to be wide open that week. (There might be a slight increase in taxes on the MAD-TLV segment if you opt to stopover.)

BA is a transfer partner of both Chase and Capital One. Each credit card occasionally offers bonuses for transfers to BA. Capital One has a 20% bonus that ends this Wednesday, August 31:

So for 47,000 Capital One points and $165, you can get Business Class from IAD to TLV. The only question is: can you depart from IAD on April 23?
