An Israeli court on Monday found two policemen guilty of negligent homicide after they dumped an injured Palestinian prisoner at the side of a West Bank road and left him to die, legal documents showed.

"By setting down the deceased in the condition and under the circumstances which they did, the accused breached their duty of care toward the deceased," Jerusalem magistrate Haim Liran wrote in his ruling, a copy of which was obtained by Agence France Presse.

Israel expects foreign diplomatic pressure on Turkey to stop it trying four Israeli commanders over the killing of nine Turkish activists in a 2010 raid on a Gaza-bound ship.

"I imagine that diplomatic pressure will be put on Turkey to withdraw this action... foreign not Israeli," deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon, told state-run Channel One TV on Monday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday voiced "revulsion" over the bloodshed in Syria, while accusing Iran and its ally Hizbullah of being accomplices.

He was "revolted was by the incessant massacres conducted by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces against ... civilians ... which continued over the weekend in the town of Houla," the premier's office said.

The head of the U.S. delegation to nuclear talks with Iran arrived in Israel on Friday to brief officials after a meeting in Baghdad that achieved little other than arranging more talks.

Wendy Sherman's visit is the latest in a series of meetings between U.S. and Israeli officials over Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran insists is peaceful but much of the international community suspects is a cover for attempts to obtain nuclear weapons.

A contingent of border guards has been sent in to help maintain law and order in Tel Aviv neighborhoods rocked by race riots, a police spokesman said on Friday.

"A unit of border guards comprising 60 men, including 40 police officers, has been deployed in south Tel Aviv to ensure order," Micky Rosenfeld told Agence France Presse.

Iranian media on Thursday said the chances of tottering talks with world powers continuing after the current Baghdad negotiations are "very low," with several outlets saying Iran had essentially been handed Israeli demands.

A correspondent with Iran's al-Alam network reflecting the Iranian delegation's views in Baghdad said the so-called P5+1 -- the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany -- had to sweeten incentives for Iran to suspend parts of its disputed nuclear program for talks to go on.

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun noted on Wednesday that a large number of Lebanese have steered away from the path of resistance and forgotten about the Israeli threat against Lebanon.

He said: “Some sides are seeking to spread the unrest in Syria to Lebanon in order for us to surrender” to foreign powers.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak urged world powers not to waver in Wednesday's key talks with Iran, warning that any failure to halt enrichment would see Tehran obtain a nuclear weapon.

"In Baghdad, we must watch out that partial concessions do not allow Iran to avoid a tightening of sanctions," he said, as a second round of talks between Tehran and six world powers got underway in the Iraqi capital.

Lab scientists on Wednesday reported that for the first time they had taken skin cells from patients who had suffered heart failure and turned them into cells that could repair damaged cardiac muscle.

The technique has so far been tested on rats and it could take up to a decade of problem-solving before trials can go ahead on humans, the scientists cautioned.

Israel is "highly skeptical" about a deal between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran aimed at trying to solve the dispute over its nuclear drive, a senior official said on Tuesday.

"We are highly skeptical about this apparent agreement between the IAEA and Iran," he told Agence France Presse, speaking on condition of anonymity.
