Israel said to insist on presenting list of 70 to 100 names of security prisoners it won’t release

Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that Israel will not release jailed Marwan Barghouti —  a leader in the first and second intifadas — as part of a hostage deal, Channel 12 reports that Israel is insisting on presenting a list to the mediators with the names of 70 to 100 security prisoners who it will refuse to release as part of an agreement.

The network also confirms reporting in The Times of Israel earlier this week that Hamas has yet to pass along a list of the living hostages it is prepared to release in the first stage.
