Caretaker Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn denounced on Saturday the recent spying stations installed by Israel along its border with Lebanon, considering that the Lebanese state should swiftly resolve the matter.

“The matter requires the state to file a complaint against Israel to the U.N. Security Council and investigations to reveal the nature of the violation,” Ghosn said in a statement issued by his press office.

The White House on Friday rejected angry Israeli criticism of a proposed interim agreement on Iran's nuclear program as "premature" as no deal had yet been reached in Geneva talks.

"There is no deal. Any critique of the deal is premature," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said aboard Air Force One.

The United States and Israel lost their UNESCO voting rights Friday after suspending funding to the organization in 2011 when Palestine was admitted, a source from the U.N. agency told AFP.

Neither the United States nor Israel "presented the necessary documentation this morning to avoid losing their right to vote," the source said on condition of anonymity.

The Palestinians said Friday Israel is the only suspect in the "assassination" of Yasser Arafat, a day after Swiss experts said tests suggested he was killed by polonium poisoning.

Arafat, aged 75, died in Paris on November 11, 2004 after falling sick a month earlier. Doctors were unable to specify the cause of death and no post-mortem was carried out.

Israel "utterly rejects" a proposed deal on Iran's nuclear program being hammered out in talks in Geneva, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday as he met Washington's top diplomat.

"This is a very bad deal. Israel utterly rejects it," he told reporters at Ben Gurion airport before beginning talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, saying Iran was getting "the deal of the century."

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian near Jerusalem, Israeli police and family members said on Friday, as the United States warned of a third intifada if Middle East peace talks fail.

The police said Anas al-Atrash, 23, was shot dead when he ran at an officer with a knife at a checkpoint between the West Bank and the suburbs of east Jerusalem on Thursday night, in the second such fatality in 12 hours.

Lebanon will file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over the recent spying stations installed by Israel along its border with Lebanon.

According to al-Joumhouria newspaper published on Friday, the complaint will be filed in light of the report issued by the parliamentary telecommunications committee, which will meet on Monday.

The White House said Thursday there was "no daylight" with Israel on the objective of talks with Iran, despite Benjamin Netanyahu's warning that a proposed interim nuclear deal would be a historic mistake.

The White House chose not to directly respond to Israeli Prime Minister's comments, which came as U.S. and Iranian negotiating teams, along with those from key world powers, held a new round of nuclear talks in Geneva.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry delivered on Thursday a grim warning to Israel that failure to make peace with the Palestinians could trigger a new uprising.

"The alternative to getting back to the talks is the potential of chaos," Kerry said in a joint interview with Israel's Channel 2 and the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation.

A Palestinian man was shot dead Thursday by Israeli forces after attacking Israelis with fireworks at a junction south of the West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli police said.

The man "opened fire with large fireworks in the direction of the junction where (Israeli) people stood," spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Agence France Presse.
