Emma Tsurkov, the sister of Elizabeth Tsurkov, an Israeli-Russian researcher who is being held hostage in Iraq, slammed the Biden administration for its policies and expressed gratitude that President Donald Trump is now in office.
�It�s been 687 days since my sister Elizabeth, a Princeton student, was kidnapped in Baghdad, 687 days of incompetence and inaction by the Iraqi prime minister,� Tsurkov wrote on social media.
�The Biden administration kept showering corrupt Iraqi officials with hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars without accountability. Thank G-d a tough leader with a backbone of steel is in the White House and has stopped playing games. Mr. President, only you can bring my sister home!�
A senior Israeli official said last month that Israel is working with its allies in a renewed push to secure Tsurkov’s release.

Elizabeth Tsurkov is an anti-Israel activist who entered Iraq (and other Arab countries) illegally on her Russian passport. As such her release is not a responsibility or worry of either the US or Israeli governments.
