COMMENTS:

 

All but the large Kuwait stamps were issued in 1965/66 at the decision of the Arab Postal Union during the year of the 17th anniversary of the Deir Yassin killing (April 9, 1948).

 

# This stamp was issued by the UAR for use in Gaza (Palestine), separate from the Egyptian stamp.  In addition to the stamp, Emory has a first day cover for this stamp, postmarked Gaza, Palestine.

 

## This stamp has the same Scott number as the preceding one.

 

### This stamp does not follow the graphics of the others. It has a white map of Israel with black stick figures against a red background.
