With the end of the War of Independence, most of the territory of Mandatory Israel was divided between the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Transjordan, while the Kingdom of Egypt retained power in the Gaza Strip. This situation created two cities called Jerusalem, and more than once caused the postal services abroad to fail and route the mail to the "wrong" Jerusalem. In the Alexander collection there is a letter with a collection of postmarks stamped on it that testify to the path he traveled in "Jerusalem", the Israeli and the Jordanian , until he reached the addressee.

On December 10, 1963, the independent Zanzibar Post issued its first stamps.
