I know that they included in the rating games with different time control.

Part of the games are with time control of 30 minutes per game(the factor for
these games is smaller) so the tournament time control are more significant in
the rating.

I meant to ask about the TPR of around 2500 and not about the rating.
I understand now that the TPR is based only on games for the Israel rating.

I did not mean to imply that you made up the rating but only to say that
performance of 2500 based on the games is slightly misleading for people
who do not know the Israeli chess federation rules.

I think that 2500 for computers by the Israel chess federation is not the same
as  2500 by fide because of the fact that some faster time control games that
are not faster than 30 minutes/game are counted with a smaller factor.

I guess that 2500 for computers by the israel chess federation is eqvivalent to
2450 at 40/120+60/game when humans play only one game per day.

In the new Israel league performance of 2500 is eqvivalent to more than 2500
fide elo because of the fact that the teams can choose the player to play
against the computer(these rules against computers did not exist in the past).
