White House teams up with Turkiye to locate missing journalist Austin Tice
The White House has reaffirmed its commitment to locating American journalist Austin Tice.
He has been missing in Syria since 2012.
White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that finding Tice is a “top priority” for the Biden administration.
The U.S. is collaborating with Türkiye and other nations, though specifics remain undisclosed.
Tice’s mother, Debra Tice, remains hopeful, citing vetted information indicating her son is alive and being treated well.
She spoke following a meeting with President Joe Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan.
Freelance journalist Austin Tice, who worked for outlets like CBS and The Washington Post, vanished after being stopped at a checkpoint in a Damascus suburb.
A video later showed him blindfolded and detained.
The U.S. has announced an $11 million reward for information leading to Tice’s location.
With ongoing efforts, hopes are renewed for his return, especially amid potential changes in Syria’s political landscape where a new government is set to take power.
