What does El Al gold get on Delta domestic? Comfort+?

Priority check in and boarding, extra baggage allowed, and preferred seat

I’m usually in the Hyatt forum and wondering if there is a way to get 10k Delta miles. I have a trip and it’s substantially cheaper using miles. Inbox me if there is way to buy them cheaper than delta offering

Thanks

Which fare classes are avail to partners?
I was under the impression that in J, its the Z space (OZ) that's the lowest? Is this wrong?
Because the flight I'm looking at has Z, but is not showing to partners. Does Delta block availability even in Z class?

I'm a temp silver medallion on Delta, and i booked a flight on elal totally separate and it has my matmid number attached. how do i get free upgrade to extra space seats for reservation through delta (doesnt even show up on delta website)?

Trying to book ELAL award flight with skymiles TLV-CDG for the end of September, is show's availability on Qantas, Virgin. but nothing on delta
I tried to chat with them and they told me:

Thanks. It will not show this time due to the Delta travel advisory for Israel Security--impacted dates are from 07OCT23 to 31OCT24--most flights were cancelled for this route this time.

This time Delta will not allow booking for this route regardless of the airline. I tried to check the flights and it shows no results match your search criteria.
I suggest to check directly with El Al for booking.

A) Does this make sense?
B) are there any workarounds?
C) What would the rate be? (if it's even worth trying)

If I recall correctly Delta doesn't codeshare on this route
It only works as a married segment from the US and even then it tries to push you onto the AF metal

I honestly haven't seen availability through SkyMiles on any TLV-EU routes for LY since they began the partnership 
Happy to be corrected though

I ask about award bookings without any codeshare, shouldn't it be available? I've defiantly seen flights JFK-LHR-TLV connecting onto LY flight number

[Ly18]

The short haul flights are not bookable as a single segment

I have a united card that gives me free checked bag, now my question is if I book a UA flight using my air Canada points will I still get the free checked bag ?

Recent dp on the Delta Israel line:
I was on the KLM-Delta TLV-JFK codeshare flight in November. KLM just shifted its schedule, forcing an overnight connection. The Israel line refused to rebook on El Al, and only offered to rebook me onto the Delta nonstop, saying "So long as there are available Delta flights, we can only book you on Delta". Delta's chat service quickly and easily rebooked me onto El Al (after I asked to be rebooked on DL 7424).
