Probably because of the Camp David Accords signed back when Carter was in office. I was stationed in the Sinai Peninsula back in 92-93. That part of the world is a different breed. It's called the M.F.O. Multi-national Force and Observers. Soldiers from all different countries were stationed there, some at North Camp, like me, and others stationed at South Camp. Then the guys walking around in orange suits were the Observers, the ones who made sure that both Egypt and Israel were abiding by the agreement. If we were to cut off aid to them, all hell would break loose.
We couldn't even drive through the Gaza Strip on the weekends to go to Tel Aviv. The Arabs would throw rocks at the vehicles, etc.. We had to take another way, that took longer. A very fun and interesting tour my last year in the Army.
I just hope we're not saving israel for last as a rescue, Lobbyists need to get out of our country aswell. My american senators and representatives of congress are not for sale.

I think part of it is to isolate them.
Saving Israel for last

I think because Israel is Israel and runs the show. How Egypt managed I have no idea.
Israel wants Egypt. With funding from the US to both, it's a stalemate in the meantime.
Thinking “our greatest ally” is not so great.
Aid. not aide.
Because they are the best! /s
Ummmmm that's a hard no for me.
I don't know if the downvoters don't like my sarcasm about it or if they think my comment is sincere.
Looks more like downvoting shills.
You never know with this crowd.
