Photos of Timmerman, taken by Anadolu Agency (AA), confirm his presence in the Syrian capital.
Timmerman, 29, had been unaccounted for since his disappearance in Hungary, where he was last seen near a church in Budapest's 2nd District.
Authorities in Hungary had launched a search operation for Timmerman after receiving reports of his disappearance.
Investigators noted his last known location and appealed for information, urging individuals with knowledge of his whereabouts to contact local authorities anonymously through a dedicated hotline.
Timmerman's unexpected reappearance in Damascus, Syria follows his detention in Sednaya Prison, where he was reportedly held during the deposed regime's rule. His current condition appears stable, according to AA reports, and steps are being taken to confirm his identity and facilitate his return home.
