🚨Iraqi foreign minister Fuad Hussein told me in Davos that Princeton researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov who has been held hostage by an Iraqi militia is alive and stressed Prime Minister Sudani is working for her release
🚨שר החוץ של עיראק פואד חוסיין אמר לי בדאבוס שהחוקרת הישראלית אליזבת צורקוב שנחטפה על ידי מיליציה עיראקית לפני כשנתיים עודנה בחיים והדגיש כי ראש הממשלה מוחמד אל-סודאני פועל כדי להביא לשחרורה
