They want to build belt and road straight through Iran to Bulgaria. My assumption is that if Israel did not exist then they would also build it straight through to Egypt and North Africa. Israel is the major geographically limiting factor preventing railroad access to Africa.
A rail line from China to Africa would have to go through so many countries that maintaining it would be a diplomatic nightmare.
Also the Gulf of Aden is only 26 km wide and 300m deep at the western end, so a tunnel there isn't out of the question.
I don't see why you think that. China doesn't operate the lines directly, they simply build them. Companies then use them. The country operates them, or private companies within the country where they're constructed.
How do you think the already existing rail lines connecting all the way from France to China currently work?
The current (northern) line to Europe is China - Mongolia - Russia - Belarus - Poland. A line to Africa would need to go through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Jordan and Egypt, and that's excluding Israel. (A line through the Gulf of Aden would be ... Saudi Arabia - Yemen - Djbouti.) You just need one country having a colour revolution to shut the whole thing down.
