The U.S. Navy forces in the region lack a chief of naval operations because of Tuberville's hold on military promotions.
GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville's hold on military promotions in a clash over abortion policy is reportedly undermining the U.S.'s ability to assist Israel after a surprise attack by Hamas fighters left more than 1,000 people dead and thousands wounded on both sides.Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Sunday that he has directed the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean.
Moynihan also said that just days before the Hamas attack, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri said he would block civilian Army promotions because of concerns about housing conditions on one military base.Moynihan also noted in a post on X that the U.S. does not currently have an ambassador to Israel because GOP Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is a 'Covid conspiracy crank.
