Hussein fell out with Nasser when he opposed many of the president's policies, especially his heavy-handed style of government and favouritism, which he blamed for Egypt's defeat in the 1967 war with Israel.

Subsequently his domestic policy was marked by ever-increasing avarice and conservatism, and he sowed the seeds of future trouble by deliberately courting the enmity of Abdul Aziz, the ruler of Nejd.
