Well the largest populations of Jews outside of Israel (closing on 6 million) are the United States (over 5 million) and France (closing on half a million). This is followed by Canada, the United Kingdom, and Russia, who between them all have almost a million Jews. The likely remainder of the planet outside those places is about a million to a million and a half Jews (estimated based on a world population of about 13.3 millon Jews).

Taking this into account, the largest support for Israel is the United States. If that fades, the rest of the world seems to be in the "we could give a rat's ass" phase, outside the Islamic jingoistic anti-Zionist ranting that is.

Also note that the Islamic population in the United States is smaller than the Jewish population (roughly 2 and a half million Muslims), while in France it is far larger (at over 3.5 million). In Europe it is estimated there are over 38 millon Muslims (about 16 million in the European Union a few years back), while there are less than 5 million in all the Americas. Therefore the Americas may continue to give aid for a time, if the cost is not too high...and if they see results in the region. Europe is likely to just say "kiss off" in the near future. No clue what the non-Islamic coutries in Asia (like China and Japan for example) or Africa would do...nor what the Eastern Asian Islamic counties would do for that matter, as they are far from the Middle East politically.

Of course Israel is likely in a position were they really don't need aid anymore.
