I would call a local ticket office in North America. Like Toronto at  (416) 967-4222 or LA at 323-852-1252. Maybe they are still open.

The 800 number is their New York office. It was originally the only number I could find at it wasn't very clear where it was.

 Booked through QF award, how do you select seats?

No option online and call center is either closed or put on hold forever.

El Al has WhatsApp service where you can text them the PNR and request a seat preference (or a meal etc.)
Sometimes takes a while until they reply, but this way it doesn't waste your time.
Service is available Sun - Thur 8:30am - 7:00pm and Fri 8:30am - 4:00pm Israel time.
Number is +972535663033

Wow, what an antisemitic slant on the story. " El Al demanded", "leaving fewer officers to answer calls..."

Truth?

Truth?
"Requested". It's a requirement at all their foreign locations. And definitely agreed with the airport / authorities before opening up. They've been targeted too many times so they can't afford not to have this
