Israel has reiterated that a ship carrying aid and international activists will not be allowed to break its blockade of the Gaza Strip. The MV Rachel Corrie is on schedule to reach the territory early on Saturday. <br/> <br/>The confrontation comes days after Israeli commandos stormed a flotilla of aid ships approaching Gaza, leaving nine people dead and many more injured. The raid brought strong condemnation of Israel, especially from Turkey where most of the victims were from. <br/> <br/>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet on Thursday that the boat would not be allowed to reach the territory. <br/> <br/>Israel has told the ship to dock at the Israeli port of Ashdod and promised that the aid will be taken by road to Gaza, after officials have examined it. <br/> <br/>In a statement, the White House reiterated its belief that the blockade of Gaza was "unsustainable", but urged activists on the Rachel Corrie to do as the Israelis asked and take the aid to Ashdod. <br/>
