I suspect it’s all set up for O&D between Israel and the UAE but perhaps that might change?
Few posters on here would care that much about extending their journey by a few hours if it was more comfortable…
a) connections are horrendous
b) it is a VERY long way round. I have done it (the other way, TLV-DXB-LHR, and at a time when the connection in DXB was quite good). TLV-DXB is 3 hours, and DXB-LHR is about 7.
