Every single country in the world except for the United States and Israel voted for the United States to end the embargo on Cuba.
My question is, why Israel? Many of the nations on this list are our allies, but why does only Israel support the embargo? What does Israel hope to get from this?

I'm not even sure in what year that vote you mention was taken, because it's a UN tradition by now
The UN General Assembly has, since 1992, passed a resolution every year condemning the ongoing impact of the embargo and declaring it in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law. In 2014, out of the 193-nation assembly, 188 countries voted for the nonbinding resolution, the United States and Israel voted against and the Pacific Island nations Palau, Marshall Islands and Micronesia abstained.
Israel has also been on the receiving end of numerous resolutions at the UN. In the Security Council, the US has vetoed numerous such resolutions.
It's not surprising to see Israel reciprocate how it can on an issue the US cares about.
