Which countries have sanctioned the naval blockade of Gaza?
Specifically which countries have shown their support of the blockade even the editor of an Israeli newspaper calls the 'ineffective, illegal and unethical siege on Gaza'.
The United States has stepped up pressure on Israel regarding the Gaza Strip: Three weeks ago it sent Jerusalem a diplomatic note officially protesting Gaza policy and demanding a more liberal opening of the border crossings to facilitate reconstruction.
Even the US does not approve of Gaza siege.
Closing a border is not a blockade. The Egyptians have never blocked the passage of supplies by sea and allow tunnels to be built and used between Egypt and Gaza. The Egyptians are putting pressure on Israel by making Gaza an Israeli problem.
I will say it again - the blockade is supported by no country outside Israel and is an act of war as a consequence of a democratic election Israel will not accept.

The navel blockade has been in effect since '07. That won't end anytime soon. Egypt is also a party to the blockade of Gaza.
Israel needs to come up with a way to allow reconstruction of Gaza without endangering the people of Israel. Its a difficult one.
