This sentence seems unclear: "Hussein’s response was to propose to Faisal II of Iraq a Jordanian-Iraqi union to counter the UAR, which was formed on February 14, 1958."
Which one was formed on February 14, 1958: the UAR or the Jordanian-Iraqi union?
the UAR was former on Feb 1st. the Federation of Arab Republics (Iraq-Jordan) FAR was formed on Feb 14. but last only a fe months as the Iraqi King was soon overthrown.Xerex01:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
1970 and 1971 are both cited as the year Egypt stopped using the name UAR. Which one is it and what was the exact date of the name change? Jbenson96418:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article at one point mentions that the UAR has a Federal Constitution, then later states it is a Unitary state. The two are incompatible. Not sure which it is, but considering the merger of two countries in this way Federal seems more likely.
Think the wrong coat of arms image is used in this article -- the inscription definitely didn't read الجمهورية العربية السورية , and probably the "Eagle of Saladin" was used... AnonMoos (talk) 06:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Gumhuriya" is the local Egyptian pronunciation, but "Jumhuriya" is the more standard pan-Arab pronunciation, and also closer to the pronunciation used in Syria... AnonMoos (talk) 07:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed it to be al-Ǧumhūriyyah al-ʿArabiyyah al-Muttaḥidah (DIN standard) for both - there's really no need for two transliterations. Standard transliteration for Arabic doesn't take into account local articulations of specific sounds (ظ for example is transliterated <ẓ> everywhere, even though /ðˠ/ is the more prestigious pronunciation!)

Actually, Egypt said that it merely "administered" the Gaza Strip, and very specifically refrained from annexing it (though Egypt "administered" with an iron hand). AnonMoos (talk) 10:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, Isreal never "annexed" the Gaza strip, which was occupied in the full by the Isrealis between 1967-1994 and in part until 2005. --A.S. Brown (talk) 23:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The box with "national anthem" says "Oh, my country"
I think this is "Walla Zaman Ya Selahi", but this anthem was adopted in 1960. From 1958-1960 the UAR used an anthem comprising the anthems of the kingdom of egypt and that of syria. The link links to Bilady Bilady Bilady, which wasn't adopted until 1979. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.205.198.172 (talk) 20:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, that flag was used for two years after the secession 1961-1963, and then when the Baath Party seized the government, they changed it back into the UAR flag. Yazan (talk) 07:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is my information that President Nassar went further than "considered sending troops" to Syria, but in fact the troops were on the ships that were getting up steam in order to get underway when Nassar was given the intelligence that caused him to call off the planned invasion of Syria.Whogonot (talk) 13:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, and probably would be worth mention in the article if there were a reliable source that confirmed "your information". What we say now is not wrong, bcz "consider[ing] sending troops" covers a wide range of circumstances that includes issuing orders whose cancellation remains feasible. (In fact, the established wisdom that "No military plan survives contact with the enemy" arguably implies that the precise boundary between military planning and action lies at that point of contact: "considering" action and effecting that action are separated only by the time (seconds??) by which contact is later than the first moment when contact can no longer fail to occur. IMO.) --Jerzy•t02:23, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Egypt and Syria retained seperate currencies[edit]
I have edited the 'Currency' entry in the info box. Both Egypt and Syria issued currency in the name of the United Arab Republic, but the currencies issued remained separate. They were never merged or unified. There never was a common "UAR pound" as the entry claimed. There may have been an agreement to issue a common currency, but if there was such a plan it was never carried out. Alfons Åberg (talk) 22:45, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've read in an article (The Ba'th of Syria and Iraq) that the Ba'th advocated a union with Egypt because of fears of the growing support of the communists, and Nasser's condition for such a union was a total union, rather than federal. This seems to contradict the mention in this wiki article that it was the Syrian delegates that proposed total union. In fact I'm looking at the 3rd note/source, and don't see any mention on the site about such an encounter. The source is pretty much lacking any in-depth information about the UAR. †Brain† 02:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brainiac3397 (talk • contribs)

There are two tags for expansion needed on 1 paragraph, however, the paragraph is not essential at all to the article, and there are other articles includes what happened to Gaza and Sinai, two are included under the title of the paragraph. So, there is no reason to insist on writing more when the subject is not quite essential. Braindot4 (talk) 21:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What's the matter with Israel/Palestine being disputed ?[edit]
While Palestine as a sovereign state didn't exist of the time of the union : Arab Palestine still existed as a political entity in the form of an Egyptian protectorate/trusteeship in the Gaza strip , the All-Palestine Government .
It's true its de-facto authority was weak , being subordinate to Egypt , but per evidence : they joined the union willingly , at least officially , and issued an official resolution for such purpose .
"A report from another U.S agency dated 19 March 1958 stated that Husayni , now a resident of Cairo , announced on 16 March that his Palestine Arab Government formed in 1948 in Gaza is still the legitimate government of all Palestine and wishes to join the UAR . on 4 April 1958 the Associated press reported that the Gaza Legislative Council passed unanimously a resolution calling for membership in the UAR"
Seeing All-Palestine was dissolved later , then per this primary historical evidence : it definitely joined the UAR . I propose removing "Palestine" and "Israel" , and replacing them with a hyperlink to the All-Palestine Government's Wikipedia page , with this declassified CIA document used as a citation . 2001:16A2:A02:A946:A90D:5780:FBEC:EB66 (talk) 16:37, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
