On going clashes between Israel's military and Hezbollah, have threatened to derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on a deal to end the war, NPR's Kerry Con reports. Israel's foreign minister reiterated on social media what several

top politicians have been saying for days. Israel will remain in the self-described security zone where it's troops occupied large swath of southern Lebanon. The exact boundaries of that zone, however, are not clear. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touted the interim agreement between the U.S. and Iran as a huge success for Israel.

There's widespread dissatisfaction in Israel for the U.S. Iran preliminary plan.

candidates for a newly redrawn congressional seat. For the first time in modern history,

Utah has a safe democratic congressional seat that could help determine the makeup of the House majority come November. It's also one of the most competitive democratic primary races Utah has ever seen. The top three candidates range from moderate to progressive to aligning with the democratic socialists. Damon Canne is a political science professor at Utah State University. He believes this race lays out the choice facing Democrats across the country.
