Ceasefire Holds — For Now — as Hezbollah Drone Deaths, U.S.-Iran Talks Collide in Lebanon

Today's lead: Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a new ceasefire Friday afternoon — reached after four IDF soldiers were killed overnight and Israeli strikes in Lebanon forced Iran to delay this weekend's U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland.

Also tracking: Jewish donors and allied groups are pushing back against the US-Iran MOU, but more quietly than in 2015 — and a bipartisan House resolution is demanding Hezbollah disarm as the ink dries on the deal. Plus, Somerville, MA's anti-Israel procurement ordinance heads to a council vote June 30, with ADL and Brandeis Center sounding the alarm.

In the wire: A Florida man indicted for planning a mass shooting at an AIPAC office; the UAW votes to divest from Israel Bonds; and J Street lines up Rob Malley to brief congressional staff against the Iran MOU.
