The continued denial of the right to self-determination under UN resolutions and international law has exacerbated the grievances of the Kash­miri population, leading to widespread disillusionment and leaving the people of occupied Kashmir in a quandary. The international community has re­mained oblivious to the complete shut­down and curfews in Illegally Indian Oc­cupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) since August 2019. It is assessed that Modi and his team may ultimately stage-manage a plebiscite in occupied Jammu and Kash­mir to resolve the Kashmir issue on the UN Security Council agenda. Ironically, Israel supports In­dia in occupied Kashmir, a stance akin to betraying its own history while per­petrating the brutal genocide of Pales­tinian Muslims in Gaza. This could ul­timately pave the way for resolving the Kashmir issue, the Indus Water Treaty dispute, and other territorial conflicts.
