At the 29 August Arab League summit in Khartoum , Nasser 's usual commanding position had receded as the attending heads of state expected Saudi King Faisal to lead . A ceasefire in the Yemen War was declared and the summit concluded with the Khartoum Resolution . The Soviet Union soon resupplied the Egyptian military with about half of its former arsenals and broke diplomatic relations with Israel . Nasser cut relations with the US following the war , and , according to Aburish , his policy of " playing the superpowers against each other " ended . In November , Nasser accepted UN Resolution 242 , which called for Israel 's withdrawal from territories acquired in the war . His supporters claimed Nasser 's move was meant to buy time to prepare for another confrontation with Israel , while his detractors believed his acceptance of the resolution signaled a waning interest in Palestinian independence
