Brett McGurk is the White House National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa .

He says deal was negotiated over a year for good reason.

The three women who have been transferred to the Red Cross are now in Israeli custody, he says.

800 trucks of aid should reach Gaza today , he adds.

Brett McGurk : We want to see this- this deal reached all three phases.

He says the Obama administration is committed to getting Edan Alexander out as early as possible.

The deal is structured, on day 16 , the negotiations begin for phase two , which will begin a negotiation for the exchange of soldiers to Palestinian prisoners.

We got this deal without that wider Middle East war that everybody was predicting.

Brett McGurk : 'Too many people have died in this war' 'The only way to end the war was with massive pressure on Hamas and knocking out the other proxies that were supporting Hamas ,' he says.

'It's been a brutal war, but to end it, we had to get the cease fire deal. And to do that, to do.
