Do other states in the area have malaria? How and when were they resolved?

Israel Jacob Klinger quite famously rid Palestine (mandate) of malaria.

  In the Galilee and around Lake Kinnereth (Sea of Galilee), malaria had decimated the Jewish settlements, with the incidence rate at 95%+ of the workers in 1919.
