Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq called on the international community on Saturday to discharge its role and find a reasonable solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, saying people on both sides should be allowed to live in peace and dignity, news agency PTI reported. Speaking with media, Mirwaiz stated: "The sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir along with the Islamic world have been hurt. The people whose hearts can feel the pain are disheartened to see the silence (over the issue). We are seeing how bombs are showered on elders, children, women and innocents, and killings are taking place."
He stated that the time has come for the international community to take responsibility for finding a "just solution" to the problem.
“There cannot be a unilateral decision (on the issue). The issue of Palestine is a long-pending issue and a just solution should be found to it. The rights of the people of Palestine should be given back to them, their nation and their land have been shrunk upon them, what can be more oppression than that,” he was quoted by PTI in its report.

The separatist leader claims that the whole state of Kashmir is seeing "such gory scenes on TV and in the media" and demands that the bloodshed stop immediately.
“The world community should come forward and a solution to the issue should be found. We also feel that while the people of Palestine should be given their basic right to live with peace and dignity, the people of Israel should also live in peace. No one is against a country or its people,” he said.
“We want the fulfilment of the promises and commitments made to them (Palestine) by the world community, on a humanitarian and moral basis,” he added.
