Then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at a July 4 event in Jerusalem, hailing the “unbreakable” ties between the U.S. and Israel, an echo of then-President Barack Obama’s assessment of the relationship in a speech he gave in Cairo earlier that year. The moment came before the relationship between the two leaders would sour over Obama’s two terms in office.

Despite the fact that the Soviet Union had joined with Nazi Germany in invading Poland and starting World War II as co-aggressors, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill responded to the German invasion of its former Soviet ally by pledging their unqualified support for the Soviet war effort no matter what the consequences of their unqualified political and military support might be.
