💨 Abstract

With global focus on Israeli hostages in Gaza, talks persist to free Elizabeth Tsurkov, a 38-year-old Israeli scholar kidnapped in Iraq by an Iranian-backed group in 2023. Progress is being made, and her family remains hopeful after seeing hostages released from Gaza. Negotiations involve a complex exchange, potentially including Lebanese prisoners and U.S. allies involved. Despite the challenges, Elizabeth Tsurkov's family remains hopeful for her release.
