Here is a site with updated list of airlines flying or not flying:
https://www.passportcard.co.il/article/airlines-at-war/

If it says, for example:
לא (כל הטיסות מבוטלות עד ל05.09)

It means as of now they are not flying until Dec. 5, not including, meaning they are set to restart on Dec 5.

Many airlines keep on pushing off the restart date.

ELAL - Network includes (not checked for active service): Europe: Vienna Brussels Sofia Zagreb Larnaca Paphos Prague Lyon Marseille Nice Paris Batumi Tbilisi Berlin Frankfurt Munich Athens Kefalonia Patras-Peloponnese Rhodes Santorini Sitia (Crete) Thessaloniki Budapest Dublin Milan Naples Rome Venice Chisinau Podgorica Tivat Amsterdam Krakow Warsaw Lisbon Porto Bucharest Moscow Belgrade Ljubljana Barcelona Madrid Geneva Zurich London

List sorted by destination airport code (for those who prefer this format) - Last updated 11/13 (12/15: added Aegean and Azerbaijan)
Note that daily refers to flights but not necessarily airlines. List derived from Ben Gurion flight boards but is only from Ben Gurion.

faster than USA government.

great idea, but could still be canceled (for the same reasons the majors wont do it)

Payment by wire/Zelle only, what could go wrong?

LCA doesn't have direct flights to the US AFAIK. I would guess that ATH, FCO, or IST are better options to find onward flights.

Is it capable of wide bodyflights?
My idea is that israel should just tell any airline that has a route to TLV: FLy to X, we'll take it from there.

They are well trusted among the community, if someone has trust issues, it's not for them.

There are costs associated with arranging such a charter and plans can fall through up until the last minute, yet they have no stated cancellation policy.

After 24 hours you can get a voucher? Or that's only if you book directly with them?

He noted that the Department has "been in contact with a number of American citizens in Israel" who wish to depart and urged them to take advantage of the flights that are operating.

"The airport is still open. There are flights that are getting out of the airport in Tel Aviv. And so we encourage people to try to avail themselves of those options," Miller said.

Wow, genius advice there!

Perhaps they had cancellations (idk if they accept those), secured a larger aircraft, or are selling a second flight.
