Javed Ali - Israel-Hamas ceasefire implementation will take time and care

October 9, 2025 CBS Detroit

"The full implementation of all 20 points, this is going to take a long period of time, and there's going to have to be a very aggressive level of oversight and monitoring and verification," the Ford School's Javed Ali told CBS Detroit on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire. Ali shared his hope that this ceasefire deal will yield more positive results than prior conversations on the matter. "I do think this is different just because of the more optimistic and positive tone from all parties involved, perhaps outside of Hamas have put on it. President Trump seems to have really leaned into it and has put a tremendous amount of pressure on all the parties involved," Ali added.
