Israel's territory is probably 1/100 of the territory on the map in the article. So unlikely.

Rail is a network. Losing a well-connected node can be fatal to the network.

We've had almost 100 years to route around that node, if thats the problem. But it hasn't happened... has it?

Israel isn’t the reason why the trains between Iran and Iraq or between Lebanon and Syria aren’t running.

None of the infrastructure nor even the routes would be viable for a modern railroad infrastructure, blaming Israel for the utter lack of investment in infrastructure across the Middle East is laughable.
