This powerful 10-millieme commemorative stamp marks the 5th anniversary of the re-establishment of Arab administration in the territory following the Suez Crisis, documenting the dual dates 1957–1962. The central design captures an idealized portrait of a Palestinian family, where a determined father wearing a traditional headscarf (kuffiyeh) holds aloft the flag of the United Arab Republic, sheltering his wife and young child beneath its folds. Set against a background map silhouette of the territory, the lower scroll reiterates the firm political declaration "GAZA PART OF ARAB NATION ". Printed with the natively integrated "PALESTINE" and "GAZA " titles, the stamp served to commemorate regional resistance, state sovereignty, and continuous demographic resilience.
