In the latest development, Turkey is saying:
Turkish warships will escort any Turkish aid vessels to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in remarks broadcast on Al Jazeera television on Thursday.
Erdogan also said that Turkey had taken steps to stop Israel from unilaterally exploiting natural resources from the eastern Mediterranean, according to Al Jazeera's Arabic translation of excerpts of the interview, which was conducted in Turkish.

It remains to be seen whether this will become a reality - especially the real threat of Israel tapping into Gas reserves which are not in Israeli territorial waters.
One has to wonder how much the fact that there is probably Natural Gas in Palestinian territorial waters has to do with the on-going occupation in general and naval blockade in particular. If the Gazans were allowed to exploit the natural reserves, then it would be less reliant on aid and could develop Palestine further.
An interesting development to watch.
