To clarify:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...aid#Recipients

Israel receives about 3 bil, Egypt 1.5 bil, Jordan 1.2, and the Palestinians 1 bil from the USA.

Those amounts don't include foreign aid from other sources, most notably Russia. While Israel only gets aid from the US, the other states listed all have multiple sources.
