The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Elizabeth Tsurkov is most certainly not a spy, and there is absolutely no good reason for her to be detained in this unjust fashion. The Iraqi government must do everything it can to guarantee her release. It should be noted for future diplomatic relations the high likelihood that Iran was involved in her kidnapping.

The Times of Israel

Establishment-critical narrative

The details regarding Tsurkov — who served in the Israeli army during its war on Lebanon in 2006 and sided with US-backed terrorists in Syria — and her disappearance seem incredibly murky. She works for the Western and Muslim Brotherhood-linked propaganda outlet Newlines Institute, which raises questions regarding her motive for being in the country.
