I'm sure ISIS is wondering who will fund them now... they just lost one of their benefactors. At least they still have the CIA and Mossad cutting them a check.
Gimme a break ISIS is the spawn of MOSSAD & the CIA.
Ibn Saud had conquered most of the Arabian peninsula and consolidated it into one kingdom with the help of the fanatically religious Wahhabi Bedouins, who believed, among other things, that dying in battle was a ticket to paradise, that all images, from pictures to statues, had to be destroyed, that drinking and smoking and singing and dancing were sins punishable by whipping, and so forth.
Anyone saying CIA, and Israel is pushing intellectual dishonesty.

Not only is that a false assumption...
But to believe that the Wahhabi protectors of Mecca are funding "Sunnis" who promised to destroy the Sacred Kaaba is not just naive, but gullible.

Personally i say good riddance. Your actually defending a tyrant that has ruled the Arabs for more then 200 years or so. How very Democratic.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Saudi Arabia's new king, Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, is a veteran of the country's top leadership, versed in diplomacy from nearly 50 years as the governor of the capital Riyadh and known as a mediator of disputes within the sprawling royal family.
Salman, 79, had increasingly taken on the duties of the king over the past year as his ailing predecessor and half-brother, Abdullah, became more incapacitated. Abdullah died before dawn on Friday at 90.
...President Ahmadinejad’s office in 2011 argued that Abdullah’s death will be a major prophetic sign signaling the “imminent reappearance of the Mahdi.”
.... a film titled “The Coming is Upon Us” and it teaches that the Islamic messiah named the Hidden Imam or as the Mahdi will soon arrive. (after 2011)
The film teaches that the death of Abdullah will be a fulfillment of prophecy that sets the stage for this last conflict. It even encourages his assassination, saying, “Whoever guarantees the death of King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia, I will guarantee the imminent reappearance of the Mahdi.” It is unclear what immediately follows his death according to this interpretation of Islamic prophecy, but the filmmakers are certain it is the trigger for huge events.

It's really just a personal assessment to be honest...
Nothing concrete.
Something well known is the original MOSSAD motto;
"For by wise guidance you can wage your war"...
Added to the fact that Israel have yet to offer help in the fight against ISIS...
Despite them being next door in Syria...
Id have thought they'd be more concerned with ISIS than Assad to be honest.
Also the lack of attention ISIS has paid to Israel who is right across the border I'd expect the most heinous Islamic terrorists of all time to have set out a plan to hurt Jewish people, they seem to be content with Muslims & Christians.
The news from the other day of the Israeli Airstike that killed an Iranian and a few Hezbollah fighters who are all busy battling ISIS...
I don't see how that benefits anyone except ISIS...
I threw the CIA in because not much gets by them in the underworld.
You don't have to accept my assessment of the situation though pal...
It's all up in the air for speculation, these are just the conclusions I've come to over the last couple of years.
