Plenty offer it, some free, some paid.  Israeli Amex Platinum offers you and the one free AU card access.  There are other options on cards with no AF as well (but must charge 1500-2000 shekels a month to maintain free access), like the Amex Gold People & Computers card.

Do they offer just dan access or do they include other priority pass lounges?
Do you sign up through your bank ( leumi) or directly through a Amex website?

If you're looking for ways into Dan, by definition neither your American (if eligible) or Israeli card portfolio is up to snuff.

Since you apparently can't get a U.S. card easily, my recommendation would be to get this 100% free card (the Amex Gold אנשים ומחשבים I mentioned).  At least you'll start to get some benefits from your card (basic point earning, Dan  access, and Israeli Amex Offers "הטבות בונוס".

To get the free Dan access, you need to put 2K shekels of charges on the card in the month before using the lounge.  Shouldn't be a big deal if you just start using this card exclusively for everything.
