The Navy is playing a major role in the Biden administration's efforts to demonstrate its support for Israel but is doing so without a Senate-confirmed leader.
But, it comes at a time when some of the top military positions remain unfilled due to the protests primarily of Sen. Tommy Tuberville , who has blocked the Senate's normal way of confirming military promotions and confirmations for more than six months. He is protesting the department's decision to reimburse the travel expenses incurred when a service member or dependent has to travel out of state for a noncovered reproductive healthcare procedure, such as an abortion.
A spokesperson for the Alabama senator confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Friday that his position hasn't changed, despite the brewing situation in the Middle East.
