Ms. Tsurkov was kidnapped in late March after having coffee in a Baghdad cafe. Ms. Tsurkov went to Iraq in January to do academic research. Israel and Iraq do not have diplomatic relations; Iraq deems Israel a hostile state and has banned all contact with it. In the video, Ms. Tsurkov, who speaks in Hebrew throughout, is shown alone, seated on a couch. At the end of the video, Ms. Tsurkov speaks directly to her family, pleading with them to help win her release.

☆ My Friend, Elizabeth Tsurkov, Has Been Kidnapped in Iraq. Who Will Help Her? - The New York Times

My kids are playing on the grass with their grandparents, a rare treat since we live in Jerusalem. One of my oldest friends, Liza — Elizabeth Tsurkov — is being held by a militia in Iraq, and I’m terrified. Liza, a Russian-Israeli doctoral student at Princeton University, traveled to Iraq this winter to conduct field work for her research into human rights and sectarianism in the Middle East. Liza used her Russian passport to travel to Iraq, but she knew that entering the country as a dual Russian-Israeli citizen could put her in danger. It was an idea that drove her research and human rights work, which had already taken her into war-ravaged Syria and post-ISIS Iraq.

JERUSALEM, July 5 (Reuters) - An Israeli-Russian academic who went missing in Iraq a few months ago is alive and being held there by Shiite group Kataib Hezbollah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Wednesday. It said she had gone to Iraq for research purposes on behalf of Princeton University in the United States. According to the university's website, Tsurkov is pursuing her PhD at Princeton's Department of Politics. A Princeton spokesperson declined to say whether Tsurkov was in Iraq on the university's behalf, citing policies and a federal law governing students' privacy and safety. Kataib Hezbollah is one of the most powerful Iran-backed militia groups there.

An Israeli researcher missing for months in Iraq is being held by a Shiite militia, according to a statement from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She holds both Israeli and Russian passports and entered the country using her Russian passport, according to the Israeli government. Israel and Iraq do not have diplomatic relations, so she would not have been allowed to enter with an Israeli passport. Ms. Tsurkov went to Iraq in January to do academic research. As well as studying at Princeton, she is a fellow at the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy, a Washington-based research group.
