No it sees TLV as part of Europe, which is why their RT US-Israel is so cheap.  Even if I don't do a stopover, if for example I try to do a RT from Denver to the Maldives it will never let it go through even though it is just one more connection from a hub city.  Not sure why.
Am I missing something?

maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that was the reason they have such low mileage to TLV.

So ANA will allow up to 2 open jaws PLUS a stopover?  I thought most airlines will allow a max of two total.  And I guess the WAW/TLV open jaw is ok b/c they are considered in the same area of "Europe?"  Also, were you able to book this online?  Many times, I will have what I think are ok ANA routing/itineraries and the website will let me go all the way through through picking seats for each leg but then at the end it won't give me a mileage amount and says something about it not being an acceptable route.
Yes.
No TLV is part of ME, its just a valid OJ

Is it worth flying back to IAH on SQ? Will i need to book IAH-NYC separately?

You can book as one Ticket by calling SQ but it'll cost more then just DME-IAH

DL JFK-LAX on 8/25, 4.5k DL, 8k Amex
AA LAX-JFK on 8/28, 20k AA

All in economy  :(
