In 2020, we gave more foreign aid to Egypt + Jordan than we did to Israel[0], for the others that are going to bring up foreign aid.

You're combining both countries though? Israel was still the largest receiver in the region.

AFAIK, a major reason the US gives aid to Egypt and Jordan is to buy peace for Israel and the Mideast. Certainly if they attacked Israel, that would be the end of the line for those two countries. IIRC, Egypt's aid is tied to the Camp David peace agreement with Israel.
