The fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime has raised hopes within parts of the Biden administration that it could also lead to the release of Austin Tice, an American journalist who has been missing in Syria for 12 years, U.S. officials said. Last week, Debra Tice was in Washington—along with 16 other family members—to advocate for the release of her son.

The unexpected fall of Assad in Syria raises questions about how the rebels could evolve as they extend their control, and what role the international community will play in Syria, said Mick Mulroy, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East in the first Trump administration. “There are a lot of unknowns right now, and the next few weeks will be consequential,” said Mulroy, who is an ABC News national security and defense analyst, and a retired CIA officer and U.S. Marine.
