The diplomat slated to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Libya has withdrawn her name from the process as the Senate has been slow-walking the nomination process.
Jennifer Gavito was nominated by President Joe Biden in January, but Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have stalled discussing the appointments of Gavito and 25 other career diplomats. They have stalled the process due to a disagreement with fellow committee Democrats about an unrelated bill on the International Criminal Court, which accuses Israel and Hamas of war crimes in Gaza, according to Punch Bowl.
