Israel war: Tuberville's office says military promotion hold will remain despite war

October 09, 2023

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) will not be lifting his hold on hundreds of military promotions despite a mounting war in Israel, his office said on Monday, saying it does not affect U.S. readiness.

The senator, who launched his protest against the Pentagon's abortion travel policy in February, has caused a delay in more than 300 military promotions, but each officer can still be confirmed individually.
