Don't feel bad yet. If they honor it then maybe you can feel bad. :)

Is it worth fighting over the 210k they deducted for HGK to TLV instead of the 16 it was supposed to be?

Never gonna happen.

You should have booked from an account with ~1,000 miles...

Just if by some crazy chance they DO honor this when is the latest I can cancel my ticket to get back my taxes?
Is it 24 hours from when purchased or is it by tomorrow midnight?

Does anyone know what this means when it comes to these tickets?

Section 399.88(a) states that it is an unfair and deceptive practice for any seller of scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, or of a tour or tour component that includes scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, to increase the price of that air transportation to a consumer after the air transportation has been purchased by the consumer, except in the case of a government-imposed tax or fee and only if the passenger is advised of a possible increase before purchasing a ticket. A purchase occurs when the full amount agreed upon has been paid by the consumer. Therefore, if a consumer purchases a fare and that consumer receives confirmation (such as a confirmation email and/or the purchase appears on their credit card statement or online account summary) of their purchase, then the seller of air transportation cannot increase the price of that air transportation to that consumer, even when the fare is a “mistake.”

A contract of carriage provision that reserves the right to cancel such ticketed purchases or reserves the right to raise the fare cannot legalize the practice described above. The Enforcement Office would consider any contract of carriage provision that attempts to relieve a carrier of the prohibition against post-purchase price increase to be an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712.
