War Erupts in Israel as Tuberville Blocks Military Promotions Amid Crisis

War broke out in Israel on Saturday after Hamas forces attacked Israeli citizens, leaving many dead.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville is continuing to block military promotions over objections to the Pentagon's abortion reimbursement policy.

Tuberville's block has prevented over 300 military promotion nominations from being confirmed by the Senate.

Important Middle East leadership positions remain vacant due to the block, concerning officials as the crisis in Israel escalates.

Senate Armed Services Chair Jack Reed called Tuberville's blockade "foolishness" given the severe crisis in Israel.
