El Al has to avoid lots of Airspace, some by choice, some not.
The path from TLV to SIN was equally interesting - over the Red Sea, down the East side of Malaysia, and a short base leg into SIN to avoid crossing Bintam and Batam - a 12 hour flight.
Then when departing SIN for SYD they appear to have departed from 02C and taken a right turn almost immediately in order to avoid Malaysian Airspace. Time to SYD was 11 hours according to FR24.
Now you know why El Al doesn't fly to AUS (though Perth might be possible if they wanted).
