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. Xerex 01:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
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? Jbenson964 18:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The map mixes all of the proposed Arab federations together, but it should show only Egypt and Syria in red, not North Yemen and Libya, as well... — Nightst a llion (?) 21:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
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)
"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)
Gaza strip was part of Egypt until it was annexed by Isreal in 1967. So the Gaza strip should be included in the map. Ijanderson977 ( talk) 09:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
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)
Wrong flag is shown in the info box for Syria. Should be same flag as the UAR flag.-- Mistakefinder ( talk) 07:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
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.

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)
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)
The UAR didn't necessarily cease to exist following the 1961 Syrian coup d'état. It continued with only Egypt (and before the Six-Day War, the Gaza Strip) until 1973. It held numerous negotiations with Iraq, North Yemen, and even Syria on unification. How come none of this is mentioned? Charles Essie ( talk) 19:52, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Can anyone expand the section to include the Israeli takeover of Gaza and Sinai from 1967 to 1971? -- 135.23.145.49 ( talk) 01:27, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
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)
