US President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his dedication to repatriating a freelance journalist who has been held captive in Syria since 2012 following the collapse of the Assad regime. During a recent address, Biden expressed concern for the safety of Americans in Syria, including the journalist in question, and emphasized the administration's commitment to reuniting him with his family.
Biden stated, “We believe he’s alive. We think we can get him back, but we have no direct evidence of that yet, and that’s Assad should be held accountable.” When questioned about the possibility of authorizing a rescue mission, Biden emphasized the need to first ascertain the journalist's precise location, underscoring the administration's determination to secure his release.
