Newsweek reports that Emanuel is playing broker:
Leaks from meetings Emanuel has had with Jewish leaders since January
suggest his role is to nudge the Israelis toward a more accommodating
stance on the issue of a Palestinian state and negotiations with Iran.
Emanuel begins his meetings with Jewish leaders with a warning: if
anything leaks, he says, according to several participants in such
gatherings, neither he nor anyone else in the White House will ever
speak to the leaders again.
