So US policy DID NOT suddenly change in a vacuum. Arab aggression was financed and spurred on by the Soviets.

I might add, that the Yom Kippur war was in revenge for the defeat of the Six Day War. And the escalations that culminated in the Six Day War were started by the Soviet ambassador telling Nasser (quite untruthfully) that the Israelis were massing troops at the Syrian border. The Soviets believed that their proxy states would win and were anxious for the victory.
