First War of Arab Unification
The First War of Arab Unification (Arabic: الحرب الأول للتوحيد العربي al-ḥarb al-awwal lit-tawḥīd al-‘arabī) was the first of the Wars of Arab Unification, occurring from 3 May 1948 to 28 August 1958. The war ended with the defeat of the Zionist Resistance Front (ZRF) by the Pan-Arab Army (PAA) and the establishment of the United Arab Republic (UAR) under first President Gamal Abdel Nasser, a unitary, early iteration of the Arab Union which included Egypt, Palestine and Syria, with Iraq joining in early 1960. The Zionist Resistance Front and other zionist organisations were outlawed; however, Jews, including those part of the Aliyah (migration of European Jews to Palestine, regardless of period) were allowed to remain on their land provided the land was not stolen from previously established peoples, and with equal rights to all other peoples in the newly established United Arab Republic.
The Central Bureau of Statistics counts the war's casualties at 377,635 dead and 405,733 injured for the ZRF, 308,638 dead and 339,743 injured for the PAA, and a staggering 944,648 civilian dead and 534,478 injured, over two-thirds accounting for Arabs.
