Not many people do know how and why the aid is distributed. Not all of our aid to Egypt is tied in such a way, just about 2 billion worth is.
The biggest problem I have with Obama is that the Middle East is a huge web where a pull on one string will tug another and another. Tug aid to Israel and it pulls Egypt which strengthens the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terrorist organization, which, which, which. His making a big deal about a simple event has strengthened Abbas to avoid negotiations which strengthens Hamas due to the continual lack of a final agreement which strengthens Iran who controls Hamas and keeps things on a boil, etc. etc. etc. At least he was smart enough to not say anything about the Palestinians naming a square after a major terrorist and Hillery was smart enough to lie about it and say it was Hamas rather than our allies in Fatah. The Middle East is like sword dancing blindfolded on a freshly waxed mine field. Obama needs to stop and think before acting and then stop and think again.
