David Smith: The Guardian Washington Bureau Chief gives an update on the Gaza peace deal - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The road to peace in Gaza is not without its obstacles, despite a major breakthrough.  

Israel's security cabinet's meeting to vote on implementing the first phase of a ceasefire proposal.  

The deal would allow the release of hostages early next week and would see Israeli troops pull back to agreed lines.  

The Guardian Washington Bureau Chief David Smith told Ryan Bridge it will get more complicated from this point onwards, with components like the de-militarisation of Hamas to discuss.  

He says even going further forward, in phases two to four, one has to look to the future governance of Gaza.
