No party has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of Tice, whereas his family believes he is alive and still being held in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She pointed out that there are entities or other intermediaries expressing their willingness to engage in negotiations between the U.S. and Syria, but the Syrian government wants direct rapprochement with the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2022, President Joe Biden accused the Syrian government of detaining Tice and urged to assist in securing his release. However, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates denied at that time holding any American citizen, including Tice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Ahmad Othman<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Mother of Austin Tice, an American journalist detained in Syria, urged on Friday President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration to negotiate with the Syrian government for the release of her son.
