... was famous for his unrestrained ranting against Israel. The Arab world's and the Palestinians' lack of sympathy toward him — especially after the Arabs' defeat — also helped get the message accepted. 


In face of this information campaign no Arab dared assist him. Shuqayri himself admitted that even the Egyptians, who were busy licking their own wounds, refused to offer him support. 


Shafiq al-Hut's observation (see above) bears witness to the Arab leaders' unsympathetic reaction to Shuqayri's speech at the Khartoum Summit. In his memoirs Shuqayri attempted to blunt the sting of the blame attributed to him, by trying to present the issue as part of the Arab-Israeli struggle. He even sought to "revamp" the Lebanese newspaper's version. But he did this for the sake of history, and history has generally treated him unfavorably.

Sold Their People Jun 24, 2018 By Ahmed al-Jarallah Editor-in-chief, the Arab Times WHEN failures engulf the most rightful case in the world, it is a no brainer for them to end in failure.

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
