The only one who will make the determination about checking through the bag is the checkin agent so you can't plan ahead except to try and get a friendly and knowledgeable one.  As far ad booking it, it really is a crapshoot which way to go. But personally I would not book two separate itineraries unless I had a very long stopover to allow for delays and an agent unwilling to check the bags through to the final destination.

UA will not confirm to DD whether they will return to TLV next week. No update since 5/8 statement,

"We are canceling our daily Tel Aviv flight through June 5 as we continue to evaluate our next steps. We continue to closely monitor the situation and will make decisions on upcoming flights with a focus on the safety of our customers and crews. "

DL:  Same statement as 5/16,

"There has been no change to that June 7 start date. We of course continue to evaluate, as always, but that remains the current plan as of now."

there was 1 group which is now sold out, waitlist is coming in extremely slow.
on a positive note I was told that delta requested kosher meal arraingments although i didnt confirm it yet for 100 percent, things may be moving forward.

Does it make sense to book tickets now with united for July even though we have no idea if they will fly then? What is the risk? elal is just soo much more expensive, is there even a chance united will fly in July

Risk is you'll end up with a flight via Europe. They will not rebook you on EL AL.
PM me for a good deal on flights

If you won’t take the stop option, yes. Still not a risk. Downside is the word for that (or con)
