Is it enough time to get to the airport 2 hours 15 min before a flight? Need to catch a flight at 9 Motzaei shabat,do you think it’s possible?

If it's an international flight, it's very risky.

Sorry, I just realized you said in Israel - then obviously it's going to be an international flight. Again, I think it's a big risk.

Generally it takes a very long time to get through the airport in Israel. Long lines are common. I would not risk it, personally.

I am no expert but if there are a lot of frum Jews who are also trying to squeak in under the wire, I think it would be worse/more crowded with late comers than a flight going somewhere other than Israel

No idea what everyone is talking about here. We always only get to the airport here in Israel two hours before flight departure and so does everyone I know. That's the standard amount of time and you shouldn't have any problems at all.

We actually just flew at that time a few weeks ago, worked out very well. Left our house an hour after Shabbat was over and reached the airport well in time.
Re long lines: The airport is very quiet motzei shabbat so even less of an issue.

Right now airport is pretty empty. A relative left a few hours ago. Lots of flights have been cancelled.

You actually can't check in until less than 3 hours before the flight. I've always found ben gurion to be really streamlined. I usually show up 1.5-2 hours before take off. Now that flight traffic is probably greatly decreased in light of coronavirus, it's probably even faster to go through.
