Small town’s controversial role in War on Gaza
Al Jazeera has tracked down the origin of the white phosphorus used by Israel in the war on Gaza.
It comes from an army arsenal in a small US town called Pine Bluff, Arkansas, home to 50,000 people.
Mike Kirsch travelled to Pine Bluff to discover what its residents and leaders thought of their town’s role in the war on Gaza.
Gazans urge Hamas and Fatah leaders to talks
There is growing pressure on Hamas to reconcile with the rival Fatah movement of Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president.

Hamas is excluded from any diplomatic discussions, as it is viewed by Israel and many western governments as a “terrorist” organisation.
Al Jazeera’s Mike Kirsch reports.
