Firstly, in the introduction:
"Israel is designated by the United States as a major non-NATO ally, and was the first country to be granted this status alongside Egypt in 1987; Israel and Egypt remain the only countries in the Middle East to have this designation."
That statement is false, see list and chronology about major non-NATO allies.
Secondly, in the "United States aid" section:
"FMF is intended to promote US national security by contributing to global stability, strengthening military support for democratically elected governments and containing transnational threats, including terrorism and trafficking of weapons."
This is a US Government presentation of what the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program is, according to them. It is what we commonly call "Communication". And the claim that the FMF is for "strengthening military support for democratically elected governments" is not something that should be presented as a fact in a Wikipedia article. And here also, consulting a list, of countries that are recipients of that program, should be enough to realise that this statement is false.

According to the political analyst Martin Kramer, Israel because of its status as a nuclear weapons power has helped in keeping the nations of the eastern Mediterranean region or Levant militarily manageable for The United States of America, and that Israel's nuclear arsenal has helped to prevent by way of nuclear deterrence a major Arab-Israeli war since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when the then Soviet backed nations of Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel. The nations bordering Israel, including the occupied Palestinian territories, are Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. [4] Suspended Time ( talk) 06:52, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
