Incorrect informations
editFirstly, 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.
I have attached [better source needed] ("better source needed") flags to the several citations referencing the Washington Institute, because this is a highly partisan think-tank allied with (and largely created by) the Israel-advocacy lobbbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Accordingly, these citations (and arguably the text they support) are violations of WP:NPOV and WP:RS.
I've noticed other cited sources that seem similarly tainted. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a platform for subject advocacy.
Editors who produced these ref cites, please document their associated statements with more appropriately independent, neutral (or journalistic), and reliable sources (e.g.: Associated Press, Reuters, LA Times, Wash. Post, WSJ, CBS, NBC, Fox, BBC, Deutsche Welle, France 24 / AFP, etc.) . I don't want to feel obliged to excise these poorly sourced statements, but their corrupted sourcing cannot be ignored and left to continue as sole supporting references.
