  • Today, while the world's attention has turned to Iran, what is Israel doing in Gaza?

  • Hello, Faker Others here, host of the Guardian Women's Football Weekly podcast.

  • So the European Championships are fast approaching and the team here, me, Susie Rack,

  • Tom Gary and expert guests are going to guide you through the highs and the lows of the month-long tournament,

  • starting with a preview episode on Friday, June the 27th.

  • The Lionesses, of course, are hoping to win back-to-back Euros,

  • but can Serena Wiegmann's England take on world champion Spain and add to the trophy cabinet?

  • Last month, there was a sense that the tempo had shifted.

  • Global condemnation of Israel's offensive on Gaza was growing.

  • The UK, France and Canada issued a joint statement opposing the expanding military operation.

  • The UN's human rights chief urged global leaders to wake up.

  • Israel's means and methods of warfare are inflicting horrifying,

  • unconscionable suffering on Palestinians in Gaza.

  • More and more, public figures began describing the scenes in Gaza as a genocide.

  • For a moment,

  • It seemed that Western politicians were about to exert meaningful pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu's government.

  • And then, on Friday, Israel launched its war against Iran.

  • People in Gaza have been here before.

  • There's been a couple of occasions during this war when tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated and there's been an exchange of missiles,

  • not on the current scale.
