How did the 1967 War change King Faisal's role towards the Arab-Israeli conflict?

I don't think it changed his role toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. I think two things developed as a result of all of this: one, that Nasser had been defeated, Syria had been defeated, Jordan had been defeated, and Faisal's role, Saudi Arabia's role, correspondingly increased. Now, true, Saudi Arabia hadn't lost any territory, but, in fact, the Israelis occupied two little islands at the entrance to the Straits of Tiran, Tiran and Sanafir islands, unoccupied, that belonged to Saudi Arabia.

So the king could say that "The Israelis have taken some of my territory, too." We pressed the Israelis to return it, these two little islands -- President Johnson did -- and when they offered to do so, the king said, "No, I'd rather not have them back at the moment," because he wanted to be able to say that the Saudis, too, had lost territory. But anyway, it made Faisal a more important figure in overall Arab counsel, particularly since he had money and was offering it to the states that ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
