The Dead Sea in Israel is one of the largest producers of bromine gas, which is used to draw semiconductor circuits and remove unnecessary parts.

There are concerns about possible disruptions in the supply of helium, which is essential in the cooling process.

Helium is a by-product obtained in the liquefied natural gas production process and nearly two thirds of it is sourced from Qatar, rich in natural gas.

Electricity production costs could jump 1.5 fold, affecting production costs in semiconductor production lines.

Regarding items highly dependent on the Middle East, such as semiconductor equipment and raw materials, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources says it will increase domestic production and diversify import channels. (lol okay guys)
