since it says "cumulative" i would assume that it has to do with for how long these countries have cooperated with the EU...
Most of those countries probably haven't done much until 1990. Many don't have a large industry to pull big and expensive projects - you don't plan projects into a vacuum and don't give money to people with little experience.
And some countries are just small, so that their funding per capita or per GDP may still be somewhat larger than it appears here...
Israel likely did something with surveillance, weapons or maybe even green investment and the UK probably didn't want to adhere to EU rules and chose to fund things themselves... but that's just a wild guess...
A progression over the years would certainly be more interesting and paint a clearer picture, instead of this alarmism here...,
This money in particular doesn't go to military projects. Israel has a very developed IT sector, you're probably using Israeli tech in your phone right now. Also energy and agricultural infrastructure, considering they had to basically terraform the area around Tel Aviv to be habitable.
