All it takes is one sea to sea missile (maybe of Iranian origin but not necessarily so) into a ship that just passed that $80B canal, for the other ships to stop using it and $80B go to waste.

Also Suez Canal is not a new invention and everyone is already using that, as the alternatives are worse. This would not be the case with that hypothetical Israeli channel, as it would be brand-new, and the alternatives (Suez Canal) would be better.
