Will there be consequences, or is Mr. Boehler all talk? [IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump’s hostage envoy Adam Boehler says he is “very disappointed” in Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani for failing to advance the release of Israeli-Russian researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was kidnapped in Iraq two years ago.“Iraq is a tough country to run,” he writes on X. “That said, I am very disappointed in the Prime Minister who, so far, seems more interested in words than actions. I hope this changes IMMEDIATELY and we can bring Princeton Student Elizabeth Tsurkov home from the hands of Kata’ib Hezbollah.” Last month, three sources familiar with the matter said Boehler had traveled to Iraq to push for Tsurkov’s release. “The Trump Administration has done more in just a few weeks than the previous administration did in almost two years,” Emma Tsurkov, Elizabeth’s sister, told Reuters in March.
