At least in the short term, this makes no sense. They have a significant backlog of aircraft in TLV awaiting conversion, which can't just be dropped on an outsourcing partner with a hanger that can accommodate just one widebody at a time, and a totally-new-to-this workforce. Maybe, over time, they want to transition away from the 767 at TLV, but to make that switch in the next two years would seem to be pitching the business overboard right at the time that they finally have a significant backlog of 767 business with a lot more potentially to come.
