Saudi TV station al-Hadath reports that Israel has sent Hamas a list of names of hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners to be released in a hostage-ceasefire deal.

Some of the prisoners are serving life sentences, the station reports, but it says that Marwan Barghouti, the jailed Intifada leader, is not among them.

The report also says that a deal could be announced tonight or tomorrow morning, but that it would not go into effect before next Wednesday, January 22.
