U.S. President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs Adam Boehler traveled to Iraq to push for the release of Israeli-Russian researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, who has been missing since March 2023. Boehler met with Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani to discuss the Tsurkov case. The Trump administration has been actively working to secure Tsurkov's release, with Boehler publicly urging the Iraqi government to help. Tsurkov is being held by the Shiite militia Kataib Hezbollah, and Boehler is attempting to negotiate a deal for her release.
