Later during the 1958 Lebanon Crisis, Yafi joined ranks with Saeb Salam, Kamal Jumblatt, and Rashid Karami in support of Arab nationalist rebels fighting to dissolve Lebanon into Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab Republic. He was appointed again as Prime Minister by Charles Helou in 1966, but was forced to resign once again in the wake of the Intra Bank scandal. The last term he served as Prime Minister was in 1969. In 1974, President of Lebanon Suleiman Frangieh asked Abdallah El-Yafi to be the Prime Minister, he refused. El-Yafi was the Minister of Finance four times: in 1954, 1966, 1968 and from 1968 to 1969.
