(PLEASE LEARN FOR A ZECHUS OF THOSE KILLED IN THE RECENT TERRORIST ATACKS IN ERETZ YISRAEL AND FOR A REFUA SHELAMA FOR THOSE INJURED IN THE RECENT TERRORIST ATACKS IN ERETZ YISRAEL)
Rashi interprets the above passage by telling us that Hashem's principal attention is focused on the Land of Israel; only afterwards, does He feed the rest of the world.
The Ramban goes a step further: He says emphatically that all the nations of the world eat by virtue of the Land of Israel, for Hashem personally seeks her only; but, when Hashem seeks her out, the other nations receive their subsistence as well.
Rebbe Nachman of Breslev explains (Likutei Moharan II:71), "There is an intellectuality of the Land of Israel and an intellectuality of the other nations. The intellectuality of the other nations feeds from the intellectuality of the Land of Israel, for the main wisdom and intellect are in the Land of Israel."
