10 分钟Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots,
from the bell towers of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral to the streets of Pompeii.
to the gladiators' coliseum in Rome.
We'll walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London.
We will unravel the mysteries of the Minoans on the island of Crete.
Let me narrate your historic summer on Dan Snow's History wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
Today with me, Alex Dibble and Laura Cook.
A military plan to invade Gaza City has been approved by Israel.
It was signed off by the defence establishment on Tuesday,
with the final approval expected on Thursday by the Security Cabinet.
This move comes despite discussion of a ceasefire with Hamas.
The terrorist group had belatedly accepted a proposal.
for a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for releasing half of its living hostages.
Our guest today is The Times' Tel Aviv correspondent Gabrielle Weiniger.
Gabby, what exactly are these latest plans?
