Even UN member states have the right to use armed force and go to war in self-defense. Hamas' war against Israel certainly gives Israel the justification to use armed force in response. Therefore no UNSC resolution under Article VII is necessary to legitimize the blockade in international waters. The ongoing state of war is the only justification necessary.

It still does not seem legitimate to me...
Israel has no rights to extend it's blockade at will to 69 miles into int waters. It was at 48 miles before this event.

the NATO demand for immediate restituition of ships passengers and cargo reported two posts above speaks for itself about the legitimacy of this boarding...
