ANA for a UA flight. However due to the transfer time you may be better off just booking with UA for eco & AC for business

From TLV one way to NY economy, BA has some off-peak at 23k miles plus $238 YQ. Comparing to Star Alliance, eg, OS where  its 42k using United miles, plus $75 taxes, the BA seems almost reasonable. Plus, at least for me, United miles are harder to accumulate.

Am I analyzing it correctly?
