on Monday told Jewish leaders that his UN speech would address showing greater sensitivity to Jewish claims to Israel.

The meeting was under the auspices of the Center for Middle East Peace.

Among those who did attend were Dershowitz, the Harvard legal scholar and a leading defender of Israel; Robert Wexler, the CMEP director and a top Jewish surrogate for President B.O.; and Peter Joseph, who heads the Israel Policy Forum.
