PDB Afternoon Bulletin | June 5th, 2025: Trump's Sweeping New Travel Ban & Israel Arms Militia Challenging Hamas Rule

In this episode of The PDB Situation Report: Ukraine strikes deep inside Russia, damaging multiple long-range bombers in a drone operation that reportedly took 18 months to plan—and may have used artificial intelligence. Weapons expert and intelligence analyst Ryan McBeth joins us to break down how Ukraine pulled it off and what it means for Russia’s air defenses. And in Gaza, a new rebellion is quietly taking shape—not just against Israel, but against Hamas. Israel is backing a clan-led militia in the south, and outside aid groups are beginning to undermine Hamas' monopoly on humanitarian relief. Joe Truzman from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies joins us to explain the growing challenge to Hamas' power.
