The Dead Sea is dropping because everyone is tapping fresh water from the Sea of Galilee.
It doesn’t have anything to do with climate change.
Israel needs a long term plan for fresh water or they are in serous trouble in 50 years.

IIUC, Israel is trying desal plants and they're working well. The Med's not going to go empty any time soon.

Israel has a long term plan for water. Its desalination. They now produce desalinated seawater for $500@acre foot. That’s about the cheapest in the world. (Singapore get similar numbers. The gulf states do cheaper but they use their own oil and gas reserves to power their plants.)

There’s half a dozen or so big desalination plants now in Isreal. The water if first pumped to their cities. Then its cleaned up and sent to their farms.

Basically, the Israelis have become water independent. The arabs have noticed.
