  • The push comes nearly two years after Tsurkov was reportedly kidnapped in Iraq while conducting research.
  • Israeli officials convened special envoys from the U.S., U.K., Germany, Austria, and Canada to lobby the Iraqi government.

  • No group has officially claimed responsibility for her kidnapping, but Israel suspects Kataib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militia, is involved.
