There is no ban on the transport of hummus, tahini and other similar products.
BUT!!! There is a risk of checking the packaging of hummus for compliance with what is claimed on it contained in fact. Those. package may be opened. Therefore, if for yourself, then most likely there will be no problems. But if for a gift, then two options:
* pack in luggage so that the plastic packaging does not wrinkle (in such cases I buy not a round package, but an oval one - the plastic is very hard there).
* buy in the duty free zone (the choice is less, the prices are much higher)

How often do you carry hummus in your hand luggage? Are the security rules at Israeli airports more loyal than anywhere else? I always thought it was the other way around.

Exactly the opposite. And not only at the airports of Israel, but in general on their airlines

for Pachok:
1. No, rarely. I almost always fly with luggage. When I carried it in hand luggage, there were no problems. Although pulled out of the bag and carefully examined.
2. Yes, more loyal. Because there are means of recognizing liquids, for example. The amount of water/juice/coffee/tea allowed to be carried on board the aircraft is not limited by anything other than the desire and ability of the passenger. Once I flew to St. Petersburg via Prague and Berlin (a week in autumn Europe...). So, in addition to water, I took a thermos with tea on board. And no questions from the Israeli Security Council. But when checking at the Berlin airport, they offered to leave a thermos (there was nowhere to pour the liquid). I felt sorry and I drank coffee - fortunately, there was very little of it ...

"And not only at the airports of Israel, but in general on their airlines" - I didn’t understand at all ... Neither about "in general", nor about their airlines" :(
What are you talking about?

Here is what El Al writes on its website:

The story about the thermos is beyond :)

What is the importance of the airline carrying the passenger? The allowance for carrying items in hand luggage DOES NOT depend on this.

for Pachok:
What El Al writes on its website is irrelevant. Maybe the author of the text is an idiot (in Israel this is a common occurrence, because "Israeli" and "Jew" are two very big differences). Or maybe the idiot is currently in charge of informing the passengers (the rules changed 5 years ago and he/she didn't bother to make adjustments). Or maybe there is another reason ... Why guess when it is clear that nonsense has been written?
In what sense is "The story about a thermos - beyond :)"?

The allowance for carrying items in hand luggage depends on the airline.
There are international rules that airlines accept.
Nonsense written about a thermos and an unlimited amount of liquids in hand luggage. On the website of the airline - official information.
Do not bother to answer, I will not continue to participate in a senseless dispute.

For everyone except Pachok:
Hand luggage allowance depends on the airline (size, weight, etc.). But the content is determined by the Security Service of the airport of departure. It all depends on its ability to identify potentially dangerous objects and substances.
The Security Service of Ben Gurion Airport (just like other Israeli airports) has modern equipment that allows you to analyze the presence of hazardous substances in liquids, etc.
Therefore, both I and millions of passengers departing from Israel (both citizens of Israel and guests of the country) calmly carry bottles of water (not glass!) Of any volume in hand luggage. Naturally, no more than what is limited by the size of hand luggage (a bottle of 18 liters, of course, will not be missed).
