Javed Ali, Ford School professor, talked with ABC News about Netanyahu's comments that he is opposed to unilateral cease-fire in Lebanon. Ali said "they feel militarily and operationally that they have the momentum and they are delivering significant pressure against Hezbollah to the north, and if that is an accurate assumption to make then, why would the Israelis come to the table and make an agreement."
