Tim NaftaliGUEST
But Nasser has this t- wants to create an empire, but for Egypt.
Tim NaftaliGUEST
It's gonna be United Arab Republic, but he wants in it to...
Tim NaftaliGUEST
He wants Iraq in it, he wants, he wants Syria in it.
Tim NaftaliGUEST
For a while, he wanted Jordan in it.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
Um, he manages to unite Egypt, and is...
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
I, I think he probably is immensely popular for a while, and he manages to then to unite Egypt with Syria in one country, which, you know, is an extraordinary moment, the United Arab Republic.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And at that moment, he is the most beloved and famous Arab politician of the last t- you know, two centuries, I, I think.

Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
And Nasser, after 1956, expelled all those people and making it really an exclusively Arab s- nation for the first time.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
Um, Syria is called the Arab Republic because that was, it was ruled for, for decades by Pan-Arabic Ba'athists, the Assads.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
But actually, it's also multi-ethnic and multi-sectarian.

Dan DikerHOST
This is the most substantial alliance, if you will, or pact since the United Arab Republics back in 1962 between Syria and Egypt when it was temporary, not very long.
Dan DikerHOST
It was probably, what, a couple of years, right? Yeah.
