The surface of the Dead Sea is hundreds of meters below sea level so it seems like pumping would only be needed to prime a siphon and then it could keep flowing. What am I missing?

I am a pretend engineer, so take this with a grain of salt, but my guess is that because its very hard to perfectly airtight seal a pipe of that length, the siphon would be very hard to maintain.
