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 guess because of the long distance. It is about 200 km. Water is fluid, but not completely frictionless. A little height difference can only pull so much.
