My understanding is that the minerals in the Dead Sea waters are worth TRillions of dollars.

Any verification on this?

This articles states that the mineral wealth of the Dead Sea is four times the wealth of the US.(?)

"The mineral wealth of the Dead Sea (four times the wealth of the United States at the height of her prosperity) and the oil wealth underneath these mentioned areas make it well worth to invest more into research and development. The successful harvesting of our natural wealth would render us independent from foreign aid and consequently free us from much of American and European pressure. It would make Israel one of the wealthiest nations of the world."
