Russia is mediating a prisoner exchange between Israel and Iran that would see the release of dual Israeli-Russian citizen Elizabeth Tsurkov, according to a report in Kan News.
The Iran-backed Shi’ite militia Kata’ib Hezbollah is currently holding Tsurkov hostage in Iraq. The Kan News report said that sources in the militia told the Arabic language international newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that negotiations are taking place for her release.
