Israel and Iraq both gained their independence from the UNITED KINGDOM.

Israel was previously the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINE from 1919-1948, which was a territory in the Middle East under British Occupation. Contrary to the view that Israel became independent from "Palestine", the territory was not an autonomous country or region called Palestine prior to independence. To say this would be as absurd as saying that the United States gained independence from the Native Americans instead of saying that it got independence from Great Britain.

Iraq was similarly a British Mandate from 1919-1932.
