🇺🇸 The US Senate will begin considering US President Joe Biden's $106 billion supplemental funding request on December 4, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
"I intend to bring the President’s national security supplemental package to the floor," Schumer claimed, adding that the consideration and adoption of the bill is "one of the most important tasks" that must be addressed by the Congress.
In October, the Biden administration submitted to Congress a $106 billion request to provide assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and some other countries. The amount includes around $61.4 billion for Ukraine and another $14.3 billion for Israel.
The US has spent more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine. And as Biden urges Congress to spend billions on assistance to other countries, the US is experiencing increasing food insecurity amid rising inflation.

🇷🇺 Russia will test first naval drones in the special operation zone
The device is often referred to as "one-off boats", which can also act as kamikaze drones. These boats are difficult to detect due to their design and size.
The drone will be able to reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour (49.7 miles per hour) and have a payload of about 600 kilograms (1,322 pounds), with a range of more than 200 kilometers (124 miles).

🇺🇸 The Biden administration has been plagued by internal divisions over its inability to find unanimity on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, media reported, citing White House officials.
In early November, about 20 White House staffers requested a meeting with the president's top advisers to discuss the current administration's plans to reduce civilian deaths in Gaza. Commenting on a meeting, one of the officials claimed that despite listening to the staff, the aides resorted to familiar talking points. The administration reportedly had to be careful not to openly criticize Israeli operations.
The previously unreported meeting underscored that Biden's handling of perhaps the biggest foreign policy crisis of his presidency has divided a White House that prides itself on running a disciplined and unified operation, media reported.
