"In addition, we hope that the deal will contribute to the healing of the Dead Sea and that will help not only Palestinians and Israelis but Jordanians as well," he added.

Greenblatt refused to tell reporters whether the deal signals any further development in the White House efforts to revive the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Hanegbi said that the "historic and important" agreement demonstrates that water "must be a means of cooperation, not a cause for disagreement."

He said that Israel is committed to help in desalination of water within the framework of the larger deal, dubbed by Israelis as the "Canal of Seas Project."

"This project will increase the water supply to Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority," said Hanegbi.
